My soul is quiet tonight
after a good and ordinary day.
The sun shone.
The wind blew.
The bus was on time
both there and back.
On my mission, I was gifted
by the kindness of humanity
at crosswalks and in stores.
I saw the clouds shape and
move in the further up wind.
I ate my meals and fed my cat.
All of these things made
today special on this
good and ordinary day.
My soul is quiet tonight.
“…it is the sweet, simple things of life, which are the real ones after all.”
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of Little House on the Prairie
(1857 ~ 1957)
