Beautiful and inspiring imagery, Jill. Loved the eyes like glossettes...and the comparison to jelly buttons (I just ate some of those yesterday!) I, too, love the daisy and the seeming simplicity. In fact, I just wrote in my "bones" journal last Tuesday about daisies and the act of making daisy chains when we were younger. And Chuck...ahh.... This was the lovely little read that I needed this afternoon.
I love your expressions of awe-in-nature, which is my own state of being. (It is what sustains me now, during our Great Horror of concurrent nastiness.) ALSO, I love that you quoted your friend who doesn’t self-identify as a writer. I want to hug the whole big ball of loveliness that is this essay!

Squirrels! Daisies! Love this!💛💛💛
Lovely. Reading anything you write always makes my day and stays with me.
A lovely meditation, Jill!
“I could see her little face peering out of the nest with alert ears and Glosette eyes.” I adore this image. ❤️
What a lusciously tender essay. The miraculous in the ordinary.
Lovely as always, and I won't soon forget baby Chuck!
Oh! All of this, every last word…❤️ Not even going to attempt to say all that it means to read this. Beautiful Jill, thank you.
