new year wisdom from t.s. eliot

in his poem "the love song of j alfred prufrock", t.s. eliot writes the line, "i have measured out my life in coffee spoons..." for me, that's a serious lot of java.  but really, i like this quote and i think it came to mind because what is a year but a series of small moments in the same direction?  consider each moment, no matter how ordinary, as being a part of your wild and precious life (mary oliver) right now.  this will be my 41st new year and i find myself appreciating each one more than the last.  thanks for following, dear readers, and happy 2015 xox
