Tiny Perfect Things

Tiny, Perfect Things  by poet M.H. Clark and artist Madeline Kloepper is a lyrical invitation to apprehend the small wonders that strew the everyday: the yellow leaf blown to the ground, the smiling face of a neighbor, the spider laboring at her web, the red feather in a passerby’s hat, the snail triumphant atop the fence, the pale, luminous moon against the nocturne."

Quoted from today's Brainpickings...as an invitation to appreciate the tiny and perfect things around us.

This appeared in my inbox on the day before Joy Hein's birthday--she who observes and knows the name of probably every blooming thing in nature and who illustrates books with beautiful renderings of flowers, bees, insects, and other tiny perfect things.  

Happy Birthday, Joy!
