- A simple pleasure.
- A piece of joy stolen from a disaster,
- Boldly taken yesterday and today.
- A simple pleasure.
- A bit of sun on a cloudy day.
- Open up to the feel inside and outside.
- A simple pleasure.
- A hug in the middle of an argument.
- Grasp it tightly, hold it firmly.
- A simple pleasure.
- A rare jewel among the rocks and boulders.
- Well worth the effort.

- I was reveling in taking simple pleasure from a hug in the middle of an argument, a smile during that crisis, and realizing how rare it was. I remembered how it deflated the heated exchanges, and brought a feeling of partnership into moving to compassion and compromise. A win – win for both of us.
How wonderful……
