Life Has So Many Small Pleasures

LIFE HAS SO MANY PLEASURES It is a strange joy that has overtaken me There are so many pleasures in life So many good things I was listening to Shlomo Carlebach today His holy music moves me so much I just read an essay by Joseph Epstein About the stages of life He is the best Against the winter cold a hot barley soup However mundane and random this small list It points to countless other pleasures Most of which I do not know But which others have Life has so many pleasures Now today just enjoying so much I wonder why it has taken me so many years To love life so much So simply and unambiguously.
