Gratitude List:
1. Those little foals up by Holly Springs on Mt. Pisgah. How they dance across the fields, all spidery legs and joints. How, when they turn and dash away up the hill, they are so skinny they almost disappear between the rays of sunlight.
2. Caramel custard like Mom used to make. I had to make some after play group this morning. Yvonne brought caramel custard. I was on my second (small) helping when someone laughed and asked me if I was really eating that dip by the spoonful. Tasted like custard to me. Nice and coconutty, too.
3. Being a grown up. Working on being a grown up.
4. Okay, I have to talk about the Mockingbird again. Because yesterday I caught him doing a hermit thrush, and then a vireo. If he was trying to show off, he certainly impressed me. What a birdie!
5. This story about how poetry and art saved a forest. About Poet-Trees. And learning about Han Shan, who wrote poetry on trees and rocks.
May we walk in Beauty!
