the unusual in the usual

the nugget in the cliché

the dot on the i

the cross on the t

the picture worth a thousand words

the tree you can’t see

for the forest

the black sheep

the little red hen

the falling sky

the peach pit

the grain of mustard seed

the twenty-fourth psalm

the third line of the Rubaiyat

the forty-eighth page of

On The Road

the nth degree

the bottom line

the last laugh

the best of the best

the constellation you can name

the me in me

the you in you

the love in love

the still in

be still and know that I am

the quiet between the words

the so-o-o-o-o as you inhale

the hm-m-m-m as you exhale

the eye of the storm

the storm

the beat of your heart

the whispering lips

the whisp of a kiss

the calm

the rush

the calm

the rush
