In the Form of Laundry, He Needs Me, Toasted Banana Sandwich

1. Oh how I love to bring order from chaos.
2. "Hey Buddy!", I say to Henri as he comes up to me for pets. I realize that I'm not really as all alone as I've been feeling. Henri is here and he's a wonderful, loving companion.
3. Poking around the cabinets and the refrigerator, opening and closing, then going back and opening and closing again, trying to decide what to have when nothing is appetizing. Then, all of a sudden, seeing one thing that screams, "Yes!"

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
