A List Of What’s Beautiful To Me Tonight

Mirrors used in gardens

Japanese host culture (unequivocal longing)

Nina Simone singing Wild Is The Wind (You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins/You kiss me, with your kiss my life begins)

Moroccan chandeliers

Libras when they’re in love (and newly out of love)

Men who climb trees and jump fences (similar NOT interchangeable)

Beefsteak Tomatoes

Stained-glass windows on houses (usually bathroom/kitchen portholes)

Dried flowers

Ina Garten’s irreverence/Hamptons jean & blouse combo

La Chascona, Pablo Neruda’s house in Santiago, Chile

Figureheads/busts on the front of ships

Fallen Angel Asana (side crow)

Babies playing on grass, eating grass
