Gratitude for Brief Moments of Joy
October 11, 2012
“What was the best thing that happened? Reviewing the day’s delights often yields surprises, and serves as a reminder of how full a life is, how lucky some days feel, and how stressful days may contain glowing nuggets of peace, pleasure, or joy.”
— Diane Ackerman, Dawn Light: Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day
A grace note in my day — ‘Bishop of York’ Dahlia at the Center for Urban Horticulture
Sometimes it’s good to remember how little we need, really need, for a good life. Today, for example, it gives me joy to write the date: 10/11/12!!!
What We Need
by David Budbill, from While We’ve Still Got Feet: New Poems
The Emperor,
his bullies
and henchmen
terrorize the world
every day,
which is why
every day
we need
a little poem
of kindness,
a small song
of peace
a brief moment
of joy.
