When you think of how many things

had to come together to make this photo happen,

an infinite number of occurrences

that have happened because of me, or to me, or around me—

living here

working there

leaving my car at the train station yesterday

and needing to walk

and being able to walk

and being able to work

and living

here

in the now

on this day

in this light

this beautiful light

pink sky against
red and orange and yellow leaves

—all of this

combined,

how could you look

at this photo

and not think life is worth it.
