Fantastic statement. I love the direct tone, the active voice, the spare word use.
At the market yesterday I purchased a lovely bouquet of evergreens and dried flowers not because I needed more live Christmas decorations (I bought those last week), but because of the sign: Grab a Festive Bunch. I smiled at the invitation I knew I wouldn’t refuse. The festive bunch sellers, very nice people who own an herb farm, have sold me most of the herb plants in my garden. They also generously hand out friendly smiles and greetings to all who stop at their aromatic table. No surprise they communicated good cheer with four sweet, well-placed words: grab a festive bunch. So I grabbed. And yes, it is festive.
A literary moment in the market enriched writer and reader leaving both a little more cheerful than they were before.
