Lessons from the Morning Dew

- Excerpts from Some Things That Stay by Sarah Willis -

In the early morning, dew sticks to the tips of grass, winking and glittering like diamonds. If you stand in the right spot, you can find a dewdrop that captures the sun. It can blind you; a tiny miniature sun in a drop of water. It is the most beautiful sight i have ever seen.

The trick is finding the right spot, the right dewdrop, the right time of day.
It takes so much for things to work out perfectly, and so little for them to go wrong.
