Seeing the beautiful

It's the colours of fall and crisp air and cardigans and scarves. It's walking at the beach and sitting on a log listening to the water. It's singing my favourite hymn in church. It's unexpected flowers on my path. My best friend laughing. It's holding a newborn baby. It's sitting on my friend's sofa watching Downton Abbey. It's loving teaching and having students who are thrilled to see me. It's grilled cheese and soup. Reading a good book. It's having a good, deep conversation. It's a moment that feels right even when other things don't.
