such simple things

"I like to walk about among the beautiful things that adorn the world."
George Santayana


there are in life such simple things
such as
the ability to look up instead of down,
to see the stars
not just the dirt
& if there is dirt,
to grow in it
a flower.
~ the gift of perspective


& some simple things that make me smile today
~ the smell of the grass after rain falls
~ lightbulbs
~ cushions covered in toille
~ polite "Thank yous"
~ silence in the moonlight {gazing upwards, always, always}
~ steps, stone ones
~ the pitter patter of the heart following dreams
~ wheels, for travelling
~ kind words {from you}

what a delight to participate in this challenge!
& to read the words of beauty found in Miss Christina's tremendous posts, the beauty of her words & images astounds me!!!

"Great doors swing on small hinges."
So hope, I chase it!!!

Today, & always
