    Here I enjoy clothing and linens hung in the sun to dry, what a wonderful freshness there is to nature!

    almost everything to do with trains, computers and small furry creatures,
    almost nothing to do with humans, automobiles, or money.

    dreams that take place, in a world where no one hates logic or consideration,
    all the odd strange things we could build in that world, and enjoy building, and no one to stop us from doing so.

    just seeing a stray cat, or some other small creature, that will sit there and look at me and not run away if i don't try to get too close.
    just the bravery of small creatures going about their business, the feeling i get that they know i'm not someone or something they would be disrupted by having to worry about.

    seeing nice things for the public that haven't been destroyed.
    public transportation with its affordable and running.

    the existence of parks and libraries.

    i'm not sure what small or large is. there are a lot of things that are common now, that were monumentally far future earlier in my life.
    all this cg 3d stuff that i have fun with, we didn't even have computers, let alone an internet, it was all something i dreampt we would have some day.

    some day has come, and as with all of us as we age, it has gotten so far in front of me i can't even dream of catching or keeping up.
    human boots on mars, won't directly affect my life in any way, if i'm even alive when it happens, but just seeing and knowing it will make me smile.

    so the large is small and the small is large, when you talk about how we feel about it, or at least about how it affects me.

    it makes me happy when i cook a meal that EVERYONE will eat and enjoy--- it doesn't happen often.

    also a nice warm slice of cherry or apple pie with some vanilla ice cream on top/side

    seeing a spot that was dirty that i made clean or neat, yes that.
    i don't have the confidence to expect anyone to trust me to cook for them.
    but i do get pleasure out of many things i cook for myself.

    big pleasure from creating small things i designed myself in my own mind.
    but that's almost to big to be considered a small thing by me.
    that's more like the main thing left in my life,
    that and on the computer what amounts to the same thing.

    a small thing would be something i enjoy seeing in real life that i hadn't expected to.

    Speaking of rain, it's supposed to rain today here in Portland (surprise surprise) so I think later I'll go for a walk in it. An umbrella, jacket and boots and I'm good to go. Very refreshing!
