Restitution

• Even when I am alone, I am alive. I've felt this lately, and it feels nice.
• My father has some kindness in him. He actually has a certain level of concern for my well being. I've seen this lately, and it feels nice.
• There is joy in life, in the little things that are hidden until you stumble over them, until you do a double-take and lift them to your face for a closer look. I've done some stumbling lately, and I've encountered these quiet satisfactions.
  
• George Eliot is brilliant. I've read her lately, and she shines.
• My friend MM is a beautiful woman, faithfully offering me rare insight into growth, development, and being human.
• Spring is on the other side of winter.
• Even in the silence, there is something...life?
