He loved bird sighting with Stan. Somehow, sitting in silence next to the other boy calmed his mind to the point it could be considered meditation. Maybe it was something about the nature, the sunny sky, the soft murmur of the river and the wind moving the tall grass, and of course, the chipping of the bird. Equally, though, it was something about the company--- Stan had always been a delight to be around, whether when he was being his sarcastic more aloof self, or when he was like this: calm and quiet, focused only in the task in hand.
Bill often brought his sketchbook with him, trying to replicate the birds they saw until Stanley would look at him in an approving way, or complimented the accuracy of the drawing. But today, the little singing creatures hid themselves from them in their nests, and he was more busy contemplating something else, anyways.
He had noticed before, the way Stan’s curls would move with the soft breeze, he had noticed the way the sun hit on them making him look almost like he had a halo around his head, like an angel on a renaissance painting, features both soft and strict. He had noticed all--- but he had never tried to replicate that in the paper.
So today, with no birds in sight, he started a new kind of drawing, as a little smile played on his lips.
