How absolutely lovely, Kay! You've covered so many "things" here -- I especially treasure the one about holding hands for 52 years...
I love how you flow between quotidian graces (such as the "soft glow of my morning peach") to the magnificence of a sunset or Balinese mountain temple.
I, too, was especially moved by the hand that has held yours for 53 years. Beauty, indeed.
