Little things

If you think small things do not make a difference,
try spending the night a room with mosquitoes.
–His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Loving the free and feelin’ spirit
Of huggin’ a tree when you get near it
Diggin’ the snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin’ the line (draggin’ the line)
I feel fine I’m talkin’ bout peace of mind
I’m gonna take my time I’m gettin’ the good sign          -Draggin the Line, Tommy James and the Shondells

• Babies laughing
• Cats purring
