Watching my kids, so different from me and each other, accelerate away on the arcs of the their lives. So much smarter and more talented than I.
A marriage that has "made" it ... like a surfer successfully "makes" a wave. Deep satisfaction there.
Poetry. Discovered late. Pursued almost daily.
Doggies! Your dogs.My dogs.Dogs in general. End products of 2 species long symbiotically intertwined... and are suckers for belly rubs.
Sailing.
Wisdom and understanding of my (departed) parents. Solace there as I age.
Stanford football
Stanford in Germany, where "the light went on" (finally). And Stanford for educating and nurturing an unfocused, un-"Stanford" kid anyway.
Japanese maples.
The moon's first crescent. Just the little sliver with the rest of the dark mass visible in the western sky at twilight. Gets to me every time.
My 3 yr. old niece. Unexpected, blessed second chance to be part of a marvelous kid's life.
Old VW vans: quirky, simple, utilitarian, underpowered and not very safe. What's not to love?
