“The answer must be, I think, that beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them.
The least we can do is try to be there.”

― Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Things that make me feel alive :: part 2
the smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of true laughter,
gifted flowers on the dining room table, morning light,
the first iced coffee of the season, sugar snap peas,
and fresh greens, planting basil and how it smells when you
gently brush the leaves, a pot of sunflowers waiting to be planted,
fresh eggs and just baked sourdough bread
butter cups, four leaf clover, lady bugs and, snails,
slowing down, weeding life in the garden.
