There isn’t enough of anything
as long as we live.
But at intervals
a sweetness appears and,
given a chance,
prevails.
~ Raymond Carver, from “The Author of Her Misfortune” in “All of Us: The Collected Poems”

Truth…the nexus where sweetness presents and gratitude prevails, is grace.
Yes, that sliver of light…
Or there is always enough … we just don’t recognize it. 💛
Truth!

Ahhh, lucky you. And thanks for the link to your post. Wonderful.
Well, I disagree. There is enough rain in a Vancouver Island winter to last a long, long time. But then, moderation steps in with the coming spring/summer and a sweetness appears … and prevails.
Smiling. And prevails.
Yes these are the moments 🌈
👍
gratitude for those moments of clarity –
