Small Things on a Big Day

The small things, on a day of vast associations:

. corn meal griddled into a tortilla, and filled with mole amarillo, chicken, cheese

. some tiny raspberries, picked yesterday along the coast

. a poem by Rabindranath Tagore

. the texture of the hand lotion

. unexpected new leaves on the Japanese Maple (as if touched up with paint)

. this painting by Pierre Bonnard which I had never seen
