The small things that make my heart beat

things that are important to me in the smallest ways, in no particular order:

1~ The cold, gentle dampness of my eyelashes against my cheeks after I've been crying.

2~The small pinpricks of pain from the claws a of a cat kneading my scalp.

3~The gentle sleep-breathing of my sisters at night.

4~Halos around full moons.

5~Thunderstorms.

6~Silent eye contact between close friends.

7~The freedom to pray, anytime, anywhere.

8~Typos in famous books.

9~The utter lost darkness of caves.

10~Scars that remind me of old adventures and old wounds.

What small things are important to you?
