gratitude gratitude gratitude

i want to make books and take pictures and drink more tea
and lie on more couches and listen to pablo neruda poetry
and read sark books
and go to bed early and kiss more cheeks
and play heads up 7 up when it rains
and giggle more and worry less
and dream up funny possibilities and brave endings

making your life feel better...
i think it takes a lot of things
[1] let the tears roll where they will
[2] honey on anything
[3] a very soft old hand saying "you'll be okay"
[4] a bubble bath with candles
[5] praying
[6] listening to children explain
[7] watching the branches let go
[8] gratitude gratitude gratitude
[9] sharing your colours

with my freckles and messy hair, bruised knee and chapped lips --
this morning i am splendidly imperfect and alive.
