autumnal equinox gratitude

after a lovely, quietish, warm weekend, i am grateful for:

1) quaker meeting this morning
2) the guy who stood up in meeting to talk about the one-year anniversary of having a brain tumor removed–to say how incredibly grateful he has been for every day since
3) the woman in meeting who said her compost worms taught her that sometimes going deep into the “inner dark” to settle and center is as powerful as going to the inner light
4) michael franti
5) brooklyn
6) clean laundry
7) prospect park
8) that even though i couldn’t find the jamaican drumming, just following its sound lead me to discover and appreciate a whole new leafy, quiet zone of prospect park
9) that i managed to trim my own bangs ok (i think)
10) having a weekend to restore
