A few nights ago, I stood outside smoking a cigarette in the crisp, cold night, still surrounded by so much crunchy snow. I happened to glance up and see the stars and it felt like the first time I have ever seen stars, it was so dramatic. My breath caught for a moment as I watched the sharp, hard points of clear light twinkle over and among the bare black trees. It was completely quiet, completely still, just me and the world over my head.

"My world feels pretty small in a lot of ways right now. I have to remind myself that studying (and appreciating) the micro parts of my universe is important. It's like a meditation... all of it"
it's the little things, remember the little things.
living where you do, i'm thinking as I'm reading your posts, really gives you the opportunity to notice the little things. living in a city is so different. it's hard to find stillness, or open expanses. and it's easier to feel overwhelmed by the bigger picture, surrounded as i am, all the time, with so much life and all it's attendant urgency. i haven't been Home in almost 3 years.
