This morning I had some sunshine for breakfast. Then I drove to work, and while stopped at a red light the soft kiss of falling white petals brushed my face as a flowering tree dropped them into my sunroof. I arrived at work, sat down and sipped a cup of SARK. Her newest newsletter is her first html designed message complete with her colorful style and childlike doodlings, and it was the perfect Monday treat. She conjures up the best visuals and sounds with her words:
“I am gratefull to you for reading these words, you adorable flower.
I send you.
The fog racing by the moon from my window.
The twinkling lights through the leaves in my garden.
The ocean at twilight, and the soft, snuffly sound of a sea lion breathing, sweet shelter in a friend’s embrace, a distinct memory of something endearing from long ago, and a triple raspberry popsicle.”
I like her “I send you” messasges. She also has good ones on her inspiration line (415-546-3742… try it on a gloomy day, it’s free other than the toll charge).
In that spirit, I send you:
A hundred thousand chirping birds outside your window (when you’re not trying to sleep).
Little fiddleheads uncurling into ferns.
A strawberry banana smoothie, enjoyed in the shade of a flowering tree.
A family of ducks crossing your path.
Silky fluffy dandelion seeds to make wishes upon, and make wishes come true.
I’m taking contributions of equal loveliness. Whaddya got?
