“Love is a gathering of minutiae. Stones, dirt particles, the waxing/waning light, goat’s milk, chamomile, and honey. I am learning the excruciating art of attention, my small gift of sight to the world. The wider the world, the smaller I seem. This smallness is relieving. Concerns, like the self, are pebbles to be tossed into the sea.”
