Treasures 2007_22


That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone,
that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life
would lead us to believe.

— John Berger, The Sense of Sight, 1980


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 quiet 4-day holiday weekend.

  • Being buzzed by a dragonfly in the grocery store parking lot. I just love dragon flies.

  • Chicago (the movie). Excellent and "fantastical" staging and choreography.

  • The Crab Louie salad at our favorite diner; with blue cheese dressing, this is excellent!

  • A tiny little bird (gold finch?) sitting in the pine tree in front of our house, chirping

  • A productive day, creating a new team directory "application" for work
