Every Day

Every day.

Crossing a street to sanctuary.
Counting worn pebbles through thin soles of shoes.
Trying not to step on snails (I have a horror of that crunch).
Smiling in a general way, and then specifically.
Spending nights staring at stars through the ceiling.
Pouring coffee through filters.

Waiting.

  1. I am completely terrified that I will step on a snail. So far I’ve managed to avoid doing so, but the other day Eric came home and said that he stepped on one, so I asked, “Did it make a crunch?” “Yup.” “Was it disgusting?” “Completely.” So now I’m even more paranoid about it.
