thankful

"Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise."
                                                                                                                      ~George Herbert

and this, my prayer

"You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance."

“...and here's a secret for you - everything beautiful is sad...gilded with impermanence...”

feathers

I'm a bit of a magpie.  At any given moment, the windowsill over my sink is home to rocks, acorns, leaves and, most prized of all, feathers...  :)
