Greetings!
I'm thankful I still have a job and can finish paying off my roof this month.
I'm thankful when struggle in life turns to deeper insight and personal growth.
Tonight Linda, Dad and I watched Camilla on video. It was slow but beautiful and thoughtful.
I'm thankful for being able to watch such movies at home.
We walked in a forest preserve in town as well as along the Chattahoochee River. I'm thankful
for places I can go to be in nature.
We went to an open mike in Chamblee. I'm thankful for opportunities to perform with a
microphone. I'm thankful for opportunities to go out with my friends and meet new people.
I'm thankful for poetry that has inspired me and given me food for thought. I finished reading
Hafiz and am re-reading a collection of Chinese poems that I have. Here's one by Hafiz:
Friends Do Things Like This
Friends do things like this:
Tell which mat their house key is
hidden under.
Hafiz, jump over, cut right through
all the small talk today:
Look beneath the right-hand corner
of that Kirman behind
the barn
Where my sweet dog is usually
sleeping
(Don't worry, she won't bite)
For you would not believe
the extraordinary view
of God
From my bedroom
window.
-- Hafiz
Love,
Stephen
