These weeks of too much horrifying news and an endless list of errands left me feeling dispirited until today, when I happened to hear Calvin Trillin's reassuring voice on the radio. His way with words describing life lifts me up with its simplicity, honesty, humor, and reverence for what is all that really matters - Living, Loving, Laughing, and being true to oneself. It brought me back to myself and I was almost hopeful again all afternoon.

My guest filled the house with fine food, friendship, and this white lily and tulip bouquet. Its beauty and rich fragrance is still wafting through the Sonoma summer air. Enduring friendship. There is nothing like it.

'Tis the gift to be simple
'Tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
It will be in the valley of love and delight.

Written in 1848 by Shaker, Joseph Brackett in Maine.

Words to live by.

There's a lot to love about Queen Anne's Lace, a wild flower that takes root anywhere, requires no tending, and is one of the most delicate, etherial, elegant flowers on earth. Simple beauty. It speaks volumes to the soul.

We rowed around Gina's Point first thing this morning.  Memories of Gina were everywhere.  Her generous spirit, natural beauty, and deep soul. Alive and well on this little slice of land in Maine.
