They are content. They are relaxed. They are comfortable with each other.

I was walking in my neighborhood park in the rain. It was a misty rain, the kind that makes everything look magical. Rebel was off running and a kid rides up to share the shelter of the big redwood I was under. We both just stood there, looking into the mist.

He looks up at me, shaggy hair and big innocent eyes, and says, "copacetic".

The dogs are copacetic - very satisfactory or acceptable - and that's what I want my relationships to look, and feel, like.
