“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”

Morrie Schwartz

I find small pleasures where I may. Today my finger nails are painted shiny, greenish, defiant gold.

When I was young and feckless

the mature couples I saw

sitting quietly in a restuarant

seemed sad

and lacking anything

to say.

Now I know

the pleasure

of simply be-ing

together

when nothing

needs

be said.
