Out of the early morning mist the deer bounded swiftly across the road far in front of our car. And I told my husband to watch so he wouldn’t miss its beauty.

But my appreciation quickly turned to alarm as I saw that the deer wasn’t alone.

Two twin fawns trailed her, and the mother obviously hadn’t factored in the extra time it would take for their little legs to get across the road.

Oncoming traffic was rapidly approaching and was almost upon the two little creatures when a car swerved and one fawn slipped and hit the pavement hard.

It hung there in the dead tree across from our balcony all metallic and shiny.
A forgotten balloon half deflated stuck just high enough to be out of reach for all eternity it seemed.
And I hated it.
When I sat out in my balcony looking out into the lush green in the spring and summer there it would be for me to see.
And in the winter, when the trees were bare, it would be there still. Silver on one side, blue on the other. Ready to distract my eye during my prayer time.
Sometimes I would spend my time in the balcony thinking about how I could get the balloon down. And a number of schemes would play through my head.
