That best portion of a good man’s life
His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
- William Wordsworth, “Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey”

sunday simplicity: her life would change
about chances, moments when their lives
might have swerved off
for the smallest reason.
What if
I hadn’t phoned, he says, that morning?
What if you’d been out,
as you were when I tried three times
the night before?
She’d been there all evening, and she knew
he was the one calling, which was why
she hadn’t answered.
because she was certain-her life would change
if she picked up the phone, said hello,
said, I was just thinking
of you.
I was afraid,
she tells him. And in the morning
I also knew it was you, but I just
answered the phone
the way anyone
answers a phone when it starts to ring,
not thinking you have a choice."

Sunday Simplicity #101: sparkle and shine
"Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again."

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white."

Sunday Simplicity #65 - Meet Virginia
Sometimes I can tell without looking at the credits that a wedding took place in Virginia. Such was the case with Cassie and Justin's wedding, featured on Love and Lavender. That little ridge of mountain and the beautiful vineyard - and the shabby-vintage idea to put a mantel in the middle of a grassy clearing - pure Virginia, heart and soul.
Then there was this wedding featured on Southern Weddings, which actually took place at the Virginia Gold Cup. A wedding at a horse race? If it's not in Kentucky, that's got to be in the Old Dominion! My college roommates and I got all dressed up every April for the horse race in Charlottesville and those are some of my favorite memories.
