Letters · Cute Puppy Head



"Most people, in their restless search for something significant to happen to them, continuously miss the insignificant, which may not be insignificant at all."
— Tolle, A New Earth, p. 235

I might take some of tomorrow and write Mia back. She sent a letter to Maine which I’d hoped to reply to this week, but I left that letter in Portland. I have my pen; my mom could probably give me some stationery.

My mom called me over this evening to look at a photo of someone’s brown Labrador puppy, which she couldn’t quite get to scroll correctly. All I saw was the soft-looking, furry top of the puppy’s head. Very cute nonetheless.

I felt a pang when I saw an email next to it from my cousin, apparently with photos of her son.

Then, concurrently, relief.
