On my hands and knees before a tiny wildflower. In words silently uttered by my heart. In song. In looping cursive letters on the page. With the tapping of a keyboard. In the folding of freshly laundered clothes. In the sanding and oiling of an axe blade. 4 Reply Deb6 years agoDebThe way I express gratitude is by being my best me.
