Delight

Posted on | March 2, 2007 |

Today I was going through my notebooks and I found this page from last spring. It got me to thinking about the small things that make me smile, right now, no matter what. These are good things to think of. Little things, that pull me into the present, into an immediate experience of pleasure. Here’s my list for today. What is yours?

    sitting with candles lit reading, uninterrupted.

    letting tears fall without having to give explanation.

    pouring that second cup of coffee, slowly. enjoying the aroma that fills the kitchen.
