salt water, swimming like a mermaid, seeing sights, finding beauty, people, their hands, fingers, piano keys, caresses, skin, eyelashes, crinkling noses during fits of laughter, waves and curls, raw food, cooking too, spices, herbal concoctions, yoga, using all of my senses, wildflower arrangements, rocks, striations, constellations, the zodiac, heart swelling with emotion, playing and snuggling with huxley, learning, focus, mysteries, swimming in spring water, precious moments with friends, creative processes, connection, the spaces between, sacred places, wind across my face, mothers, intermingling of colors.
"To live content with small means;
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy , not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To study hard, think quietly,
Talk gently,
Act frankly;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart;
To bear all cheerfully,
Do all bravely,
Await occasions,
Hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.
