“Whether this moment is happy or not depends on you. It’s you that makes the moment happy. It’s not the moment that makes you happy. With mindfulness, concentration and insight, any moment can become a happy moment. Happiness is an art.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Over the winter break when I was busy with the feng shui of the nest, I discovered this photo of Mark Collinsworth and myself circa 1978. We were in my grandmother’s house in West Liberty talking about music. I remember the day. We were visiting that summer from Arizona (my parents and I lived in Tucson 1975-79). My plant bloomed over the break, too, and yesterday I found it a warm backdrop for a Polaroid memory. It brings me joy, my little work window filled with photographs and plants. Altars, altars everywhere. I’ve got half a mind to string some Christmas lights around the window. Everything is better with Christmas lights.
