Words and flames

Sep 25, 2005 10:23

I noticed a leaf had fallen into my tea, but as I poised my thumb, I decided that it was probably cleaner drinking tea with a leaf in it than a tea branded by my grubby thumb.

Birds squawked somewhere close. Not close enough to see. Even now, from my window, I hear but do not see them.

The image of curry curls comes back to me and I imagine how best to fit them into the tapestry of sentence. Her tawny curry curls simmered in the sunlight.

I am comfortable in my nook, decidedly happier with my newfound resolution. I need to read more, and I have been, and I am glad.
