stilettos

Daffodils, like little green stilettos, emerging through the mud. Wondering if the shape actually helps them as they push up into the sunlight. Robins walking their robin-walk in the back field. They scurry a few steps then stop, scurry and stop. Baseball practice observed at St. Peters field in Rutland. Gone for a week.

The Great Lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.
