Seeing is of course very much a matter of verbalization. Unless I call my attention to what passes before my eyes, I simply won't see. … It's all a matter of keeping my eyes open.
— Annie Dillard
Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
These are my Treasures for the past week.
- a soft white teddy bear in a furry green "frog costume" complete with hood with bulgy frog eyes on the top.
- Catching live coverage of the cranes going under the Bay bridge
- The soft sounds of four cats munching supper; Bebop's collar tag dings against the glass bowl.
- Email from my Mom; iChats with my Dad
- A "belated" birthday gift for me and an early one for Rich, from my folks
- A nice soak in the hot tub with Rich
- Raven patapatting my ankle as I walk by
- Sourdough toast with peanut butter
- Bebop snugged against my head as we drift off to sleep
