| Leaf in light. UTEP campus, El Paso, Texas. March 2017. |
A morning ritual sends a small joy to my soul.
I open the wide slats of my white window blinds, push the blinds up to the window tops, and let in the light of the day.
My morning ritual also connects me to my mother's morning ritual. She had white, wood window shutters, which she, too, opened each morning, in her bedroom, in her living room, in her dining room, in her tiny kitchen. This daily connection with her pleases me.
