gratitude {№3}

so grateful for healthy food grown by neighbors who care about the earth and each other.

grateful for access to markets and so many choices.

grateful for those who work each day toward safer and more environmentally-friendly food production and distribution.

grateful for my improving relationship with food and understanding how to be nourished.

tiny saviors

things that save my soul wee bits at a time:

• lavender kombucha mixed with ginger kombucha
• washi tape
• in the current deluge of euphemism and metaphor:  simple truths spoken in simple language
• regular old facebook status updates instead of more things to push and sell and p.r. 
• the fortune cookie that says, "the current year will bring you much happiness."
• the job offer that i'm still afraid is too good to be true.
• being paid what i am worth.
• writing this post instead of "tiny things i hate"
• mumford and sons and emmylou harris together (thanks michelle, i would have never known)
• speaking of michelle:  this
• predawn walks in the rain with luca dog
• and my all-time favorite:  falling asleep to the sound of my favorite person in the world reading aloud

grateful for sunny fall weekends full of art, chai, reading, naps and yoga to balance out the ugly.

the sea faded by afternoon sun. 

turquoise stones sold roadside by an ancient yokut.  

blue skies tinted green from exhaust or old film. 

the tile mosaic in the mission fountain.

a girl's hair on melrose.

from the airplane, the backyard pools look like teal polkadots.

the color of california. 

the color of home.

grateful for bella's 52 photos project.
