“There are random moments -
tossing a salad, coming up the driveway to
the house,
ironing the seams flat on a quilt square,
standing at the
kitchen window and looking out at the delphiniums,
hearing a burst of
laughter from one of my children's rooms -
when I feel a wavelike rush
of joy.
This is my true religion:
arbitrary moments of nearly painful
happiness
for a life I feel privileged to lead.”
- Elizabeth Berg
(The Art of Mending)
