Each single grape is a thing of beauty—sweet/tart, juicy, a burst of delight on the tongue. But who stops with one grape? Sometimes delight comes in great bunches, more than anyone could ever have expected, but not more than anyone could want.
What fills you with an abundance of delight?
“Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
What desire has turned to dust when you got it?
We are all pulled to see the world in a way that matches our views and desires. But sometimes we manage to pull one another in ways that make it possible to see the world from a whole new perspective.
Who has pulled you into a new way of seeing?
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
― Epicurus
What do you have now that was once only a longing?
So much separates us. But it might just be that the wall between us is really just a fence, with room between the slats to reach through.
What moves you to reach through barriers?
