I have written a series of earnest
essays. I have addressed vexing debates and political issues. But
now I have decided the time has come simply to list a few things I
find absolutely, utterly beautiful.
After reading these, please add one or two of your own.
Beautiful
Things:
Watching a six decade-old marriage work
around itself in the kitchen
My wife's forgiveness
You and I Again, James Taylor's new
love song to his wife
A bald eagle circling in the sun high
above a lake, fishing
Ray Tolbert running a fast break baseline to
baseline in about six strides with a huge smile across his face
Birch trees
The sun rising beyond a shelf of clouds
above the horizon, breaking out in endless oranges for a couple of
minutes before climbing behind the next layer.
Young people working to exhaustion to
rehab a house for a single mom and her two children, whom they will
never see again
My mom's smile when we first arrive for
a visit
The smell of a freshly-split spruce log
