five things i heard this week
- We’re in Birmingham today, can you meet us for an impromptu lunch?
- I saw a million, thousand, seven hundred (yes, that’s a real number … no, I’m not exaggerating) fireflies at dusk one night this week. It didn’t even seem real there were so many. Subsequently, my ankles were bitten by the exact same number of mosquitoes. Totally worth it. The bites are gone, but the firefly image is with me forever.
- Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart — Winnie the Pooh
- I reach out, and You find me in the dust. You say, no amount of untruths could separate us — “Simple Gospel” by United Pursuit Band (click to hear the song)
- Although the alligator could easily grab one of the otters for a tasty snack, the family of otters were confident in their number and actively harassed the alligator until he swam away — slightly paraphrased from Planet Earth
