I weep at what is beautiful. And when the children are near, they ask, “Why do you cry?” and I try to explain, “Because it is beautiful.” It would be too difficult to describe the joy of realizing (again) the impossible has happened: The world, after all, is not irrevocably broken. A tenderness – however small – whether real or imagined – has been witnessed. And I imagine the remarkable magic itself would weep too, for having been found.

Oh, you are not only a breath of fresh air, but freshly mown grass, a warm spring day with a dozen doughnuts by my side and a cold glass of milk. As you can see I am so totally lacking in writing, but I do truly appreciate yours.

Hey there, checking in and find no new wonderful post. Hope you are okay. I feel useless. No need to respond or say anything...just needed to put it out there.

PS Happy Upcoming Birthday to Ben
