We must search for fragments,
splinters, toenails,

anything that is capable
of resuscitating
the body and the soul.

Summer is fading… Autumn is on the way… Just

It’s the small things that make up a life, isn’t it? The big things form the outlines, the rough sketch, the trajectory. But the little things fill in the colors, shade the edges. They make the painting.
It’s that strong cup of tea from the last of the summer mint. 🌿
It’s fresh herbs to enliven up those clean-out-the-fridge vegetables. Side note: rosemary, thyme, and garlic will spice up a bad day for me as much as they do dinner. 😄
It’s taking the time to water the fading garden out of gratitude for all it’s given us this year. And because both plants and humans deserve to live with dignity no matter how old they are. 💛
It’s tree bark in evening light. And catching the middle child with all his big emotions in a rare quiet and contemplative moment. 😉
It’s mums on the front porch and lights shining from the house windows. 🕯️
It’s listening to the last slow cicada song and feeling the approaching autumn in the cold ground beneath my bare feet and seeing the birdbath fill with fresh water. 🍂
It’s beans soaking for tomorrow, and fresh and happy plants that have just been repotted for the approaching winter. 🪴

So often I forget to stop and pay attention to the little things.

And thanks to @dragonflies_4_ for her beautiful autumn playlist. It has set the mood for my evening. 🧡
