on simplicity...

Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy taking a look at your blog. Your husbands' blog gets me though-wrestling. Yours is a delight. Comforting and tender like a novel headed in a happy direction. By which I do not mean it is unreal. And I like thought-wrestling, too.

why is this flower so threatening?

d: I think its threatening because of its spikiness. It's also upside-down here, so maybe it threatens your sense of equilibrium???

pmk: thank you for your kind comment. for me, blogging is about reflection and joy. there are lots of tough things that happen to me that don't appear here. this is more of a 'pillow book' version of my life.
