extraordinary

sometimes the simple acts in life are the most extraordinary.
the flour, yeast, salt and warm water that make extraordinary bread.
the everyday acts of packing a lunch, tossing in another load of laundry and cooking soup make for extraordinary care.
i often ponder if i have an extraordinary life, something i long for.
but the truth is, because of love it is extraordinary.
not glamorous or enviable but extraordinary indeed.

  5. That we have the privilege of enjoying these simple things every day is extraordinary to a lot of the world. Very nice.

  6. Your post reminds me of a book by John Cabot Zinn, Where Ever You Go There You Are. He writes a passage similar to yours involving cleaning the stove. Grounding and enlightening. Beautiful bowl by the way!
