The joy

of simple things,
that aren’t
things.

A genuine
smile,
connection.
Sipping wine,
while
cooking everyday
food.
Laughter.
Kinship.
Appreciation
for the
other’s
specialness,
rarities, quirks
and
overall
goodness.

Contentment
in easy
connection.
Followed by
easy partings,
knowing that
this
everyday event,
will happen
again.

This is
the beauty
of an
everyday
life,
well-lived,
forever grateful
for these
no-longer-strangers
and their
profound
impact.
