A journey for a life
filled with simple joys.

Welcome to
Tiny Big Wins.

Otherwise

I got out of bed on two strong legs.
It might have been otherwise.
I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach.
It might have been otherwise.
I took the dog uphill to the birch wood.

All morning I did the work I love.

At noon I lay down with my mate.
It might have been otherwise.
We ate dinner together
at a table with silver candlesticks.
It might have been otherwise.
I slept in a bed in a room with paintings on the walls,
and planned another day just like this day.
But one day, I know,
it will be otherwise.
