"Eucharist [thanksgiving] is the state of the perfect man. Eucharist is the life of paradise. Eucharist is the only full and real response of man to God's creation, redemption, and gift of heaven."
Alexander Schmemann

February 27th: "Three Ugly-Beautiful Gifts (see Beauty in Ugly)"
The boy and I played in puddles this evening as the sun set. Gifts abound. But in keeping with the challenge, I give you the following....
#170 The decomposing pages of a phone book and the impermanence of man
#171 A winter-worn leafless cottonwood and the hope it contains
#172 Bubbly green muck and making discoveries with my only son
