May 1: Sitting at the Window
Sitting at the window in our home office with the curtain drawn most of the way, I see only a foot-wide sliver of our yard and little bits of our neighbor yards, but even in this narrowed view of life there is more beauty, drama and wonder than I would ever be able to describe over the course of decades. Just now I see a robin, two chickadees, a rabbit, at least three kinds of flowers, shrubs, a dozen trees, rocks and fences, clouds, houses, and a gentle breeze that sets everything in motion again and again.
