“Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.”
— Mary Oliver, Mysteries, Yes

Each evening I set on the steps of the patio and watch the dogs play. The warmth of the day radiates up from the stone pavers and I reflect on the simple things that brought me joy, learning to bow my head in gratitude.
