Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. The huge, full moon looms just over the horizon, lighting up the night sky between buildings. “Impressive moon, isn’t it?” I say to a man as we wait for the light to change. He turns around, head waving back and forth, trying to find what I’m talking about. “Yes, it is,” he replies when he finally finds it.

2. Our volleyball team needs to win a majority of our games and the team in front of us must lose all of theirs in order for us to make the post-season. Our shortest player gets a kill, and another, whose fingertips just barely graze the top of the net, gets a block. And we come back in our final match from 13-16 to win 18-16.

3. Rudi and I walk down to the garden to see how it’s looking. Stems of ruby and gold and white chard have pushed through the leaf debris and are growing in a lovely, thick row.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world this week?
