things that move me

traffic pulling over for an emergency vehicle to pass.
the view of downtown Seattle from Kerry Park
the sound of a cello
the coincidence of seeing an old friend in a new and far away place.
huge open natural spaces
when i ask and i receive effortlessly
a fire pit surrounded by laughing friends
an inspired conversation about choosing magnificence over mediocrity
tiny, bright wildflowers
the surreal depth of compassion one feels for a friend who lost a child
movies about underdogs who rise to greatness
olympic athletes
the smell of pine needles on a forest floor on a hot day after a monsoon rain
the perfect quote from a randomly chosen page at just the right moment
a warm, cozy home on a cold, blustery day
those first moments of freefall when skydiving
a brilliant lyric at a crossroads moment
a deep, hot bath on a cold day with an exceptional book
a lovingly tendered foot massage
God's infinite creative genius
creative genius in general
how things are made and the path they took to come into my possession
traffic pulling over to allow an emergency vehicle to pass
Edward and Bella
anyone who is passionately thriving
masterful wordsmanship
