I am thankful for the ocean, thankful for all the little life forms swimming in it, thankful for bonfires and their ability to warm cold feet. I am thankful for little girls who call sparks "crumbs of fire" and the ocean "a big puddle." I'm thankful for the human ability to form community so quickly. I'm thankful for breakfast and for bad coffee at small diners. I'm thankful for laughter. I'm thankful for sadness, the way it cracks you open so wide that everything beautiful falls right in. I'm thankful to have eyes to see and ears to hear.
