I love words
Music
The holy communion of family and friends
The venerable capacity to respond to reasons
The inviolable dignity of persons
Sex
Babies
Slow pensive walking
Expressions of the tragic view of life
Expressions of the comic view of life
Images of dream and nightmare
Baseball and sumo helplessly and to the exclusion of other sports
Expertly prepared food and drink or even less-than expertly prepared
Plants their rhizomes boles and silicaceous exteriors
Seeds their husks helicopter wings and embryonic leaves within
Flowers their power to tempt and delight
Animals their pelts tusks colors bright or muted bodies segmented or continuous
Animals their social organizations lone predatory instincts drive to reproduce
The adaptive decorum of living things
The significant decorum of works of art
My cat Citrus his many faults and talents
Contrails
Clouds
Clear winter skies
Lush summer landscapes
Rain showers in Florida
Salt marsh
Wet places their appearance and aroma
Oily little rainbows in puddles lit by streetlights
Steam arising from the street
Fire its heat light and colors
Fire its ambiguous symbolic value
The symbolic relation of lead and gold
Symbols emblems metaphors analogies maps schemata and the devices of heraldry
Mountain plain and ocean
A child’s reaction to wonders natural and artificial
Fashion in architecture and apparel
Technology despite its expense and risk of harm
The holy remembrance of departed family and friends
The recollection of events joyful sorrowful or full of conflict
Sunset sunrise the course of the sun across the sky
The moon in all its phases
The wealth of stars one night in Virginia
Deserts and dizzying peaks inhospitable to humans
Pictures of places where you dare not set foot
Ancient dwellings monuments paintings and petroglyphs
The art science and history of writing
Knowledge of the miraculous processes of the universe
Knowledge of the miraculous web of life
Knowledge of the miraculous achievement of empathy
The miraculous growth of a child or an adult
The miraculous products of creativity

I love the excrescences of creativity here in these pages
Not good
But truthful
