Small Beautiful Things

“Thus do the gods speak with tiny causes.”

— John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat

I love small,
beautiful things—

the sound of water,
sun on the back of my neck.

Little pleasures
with big attention.

I love moments
you breathe into—

hearing that laugh
like the first time,
a moment
to be alive again.

Inspiration - Small beautiful things sum up much of what matters to me. I haven’t cared much for long reads, or long writings for that matter, just little moments of joy. I like to keep reminders like this close and constant.

Funnily enough, the moth at the top of this post was not the inspiration for the writing, but it did remind me of it.

I hope you find something small and beautiful this week.
