grace in small things: the sounds of summer

• the rattle of a diving board
• the splash of the biggest cannonball ever
• the squeals of children as they are squirted with a water gun
• the quiet tweets of birds during a morning run
• the hellos of neighbors heard while out walking
• the decision that it’s too hot to cook so we should just order pizza
• the gentle lapping of Lake Michigan’s waves
• the singing sands squeaking beneath my feet on the Lake’s shoreline

I find grace in this season even with my eyes closed.
