you've got to learn to appreciate
the little things
in life;
like a good cup of coffee,
or a fresh-smelling flower,
or the smile of a stranger
as you pass on the streets.
the world is a monumental beast,
frightening and discouraging,
but in small doses,
it is the most beautiful thing
you'll ever discover

no, four things that I don't understand:

how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman ~ Prov 30:18-19

Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps… perhaps… love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath ~ 'Anne of Green Gables' L.M. Montgomery
