I Love...

The sound of fingers sliding on guitar strings,
listening to music loud,
riding with my windows down,
the smell of a wood fire,
the scent of perfume on skin,
orange sunsets on cloudy evenings,
pink sunrises on clear mornings,
the sound of an owl's hoot,
the laughter of my children - or any child,
good deeds done in secret,
connecting in a conversation,
learning about this world,
teaching someone something new,
slow kisses and tight hugs,
lavender - how it's purple but smells so green,
wrinkles on the bottom of a baby's feet,
staying outside all day,
breaking a sweat in the sunshine,
when running feels like flying,
laying in the grass and looking up at clouds,
laughing until it hurts,
when someone's funny by accident,
the sound of sails snapping in the wind,
looking into someone's eyes and seeing patterns - so beautiful,
finding beauty in tiny things - sea  shells, leaves, rocks,
studying details that go overlooked and finding the extraordinary in them,
finding something nice to say and saying it - even to a stranger,
the hum of someone talking when my head is on their chest - a rarity,
bees at work - just sit and listen,
light shining through trees making patterns that dance in wind,
good love stories,
good comedies,
I don't love tragedies - life has enough of its own.
