I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere in the autumn, as if the earth absorbed none,
and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal tints.

-Henry David Thoreau

simple things
the colors of the leaves as they turn in our yard
soup on the stove
pausing when I make dinner to say prayers
giving up coffee for a week or so to see how it feels
the sound of the wind
watching the hummingbirds
hot chocolate and a new book
drum class
