the world is full of so many good and soft things. fresh coffee on a sunny morning, that first breath of chilly morning air stepping outside, the crunch of bright and loud leaves on the sidewalks and streets. the comforting feeling of rolling into a thick jacket or blanket, the taste of a fresh bowl of fruit neatly prepared - just for you - the taste of a home cooked meal with love poured in, and kisses of adoration from pets and wildlife, excited just to be near us. fancy restaurants, flower shops with flushed excitement, locally owned businesses beaming at the success, high heels on concrete, and that cry of bliss when the art of your heart and soul has been finished. the world is so good and so soft. in times of darkness, all we can do is remind ourselves what we’re here for; the good and magical that’s still left in our world.
