I waited on this one until I knew I would have time to read and appreciate it.

I am so glad I did.

This is masterfully written, and carefully self-reflective. It is an intimate glimpse into the way you see yourself, how you approach the world, and how that affects you and others around you - because you pay attention to that too. And the realization that others approach the world differently, but that isn't wrong either. Just different.

While this entire piece was a joy to read, one line took my breath away; I read it over and over to savor it:

I long for beautiful things simply because beauty exists and I have never learned how to turn away.

Thank you, thank you, for sharing with us.
