<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">Greetings to you all on a lovely late summer day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">Today, I am particularly grateful for the small things in life – the little things that surround us, and the little things we treasure. I think life is made up of very tiny little things – little treasures.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">I was looking up some poetry for a friend – and I remembered this poem that I wrote around 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">We were talking about collecting memories, small objects, the space that is found in Japanese art and poetry, and how we think about showing what is not visible in our writing and artwork. My friend is a scientist,
poet, and photographer. I thought about his poem, and I wanted to share it with you today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">What sort of things inspire you? I’d love to know what you think.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW">In this link is my poem, “To the Curator of Small Things,” the text, and a recording of the poem as well.
