Pleasures



A great pillow and a kind mattress. A perfect cup of coffee. A car which always starts and, when you punch down on the accelerator, is very fast. Comfortable slippers. Fine literature. Interesting and loyal companions. Old chairs and jackets which provide immediate relaxation. Music which adds to life and does not subtract a smidgen. Art with new perspectives or old reassurances. Words to learn and savor. A belief that there is more about life than we can begin to suspect. Love. Discoveries. Lessons. Miracles. Virtues which never expire.
