Quick. Grab it.

The little ducklings at Farmer Mike’s were adorable. I wanted to linger despite the chaos of chicken slaughter and barn equipment mess just to keep looking at them. Small and fragile and huddled together, they peeked at me warily as I tried to snap a picture. The photo was meant to remind me of one of the beautiful moments of today.

Some days I feel I have to lunge at and cling to the little glimmers of lighthearted delight I encounter. These moments are easily drowned in the avalanche of cerebral onslaught our senses experience every day. They need to be horded and guarded and revered. For me, they are immortalized with a simple photograph and extended with a few sentences committed to paper.
