Thoughts after dark...

Every so often, life offers you a glimpse of perfection.

...maybe its 330 feet of weed-free soil...

...or, ten ewes moving through pasture shoulder-to-shoulder...

...perhaps a blazing sunset well past 9 p.m....

...or two hours of commercial-free jazz on the radio...

...freshly-picked sugar-snap peas...

...crickets...

...reflections on a productive day...

...a warm shower...

...a Faulkner short story...

...the ability to send such ruminations to you...

Perfection. It's a glimpse of heaven right here on earth. It's a hint at how wonderful life can be, when only we pause to examine ... be grateful.
