sticking my nose where it belongs

















into the lilac bush
and the misty morning air

into the orange
i eat

and my grandson's sweaty
little
neck 


"And the world itself - can I have been unhappy, living in Paradise? What keen, tingling sunlight there was! The mere smells were enough to make a man tipsy - cut grass, dew-dabbled mosses, sweet pea, autumn woods, wood burning, peat, salt water. The senses ached. I was sick with desire; that sickness better than health." 
                                             C. S. Lewis, in Surprised by Joy

  2. Thanks....yes, the colors are great. And the orange tasted as good as it smelled. So much beauty in every day places.
