Imperfection
The lack of pretense
A piqued curiosity
Reading something that makes the world more wondrous
Sandy shorelines, riverside trails
Lightning over a field of sunflowers
The drone of a distant train
Uncommonly beautiful sunsets
Uncommonly beautiful sunrises
The scent of a tattered blanket
Music in the middle of the night
Dinner with the right kind of smile
The pull to places no one else sees
Cutting a rose, feeling the sting of its thorns
Meeting new people who are complex, deep, exposed
Feeling like I belong with words
The truth in a dog’s eyes
Licking a spoon
The need to surrender.
