The last few weeks (months?) I’ve spent a lot of time offline. It has been lonely, hopeful, wonderful. Here’s what I’ve been doing:
Going home.
Making and collaborating.
Taking the long way home when I walk the dog. (Seeing the warm red sidewalks in the sunrise.)
Getting letters from my littlest love.
Getting up early, drinking cappucinos in the sun. Working on pro-bono projects.
Finally reading all the books I’ve bought in used bookstores recently, preferably on slow Sunday afternoons, when the light is best in my tiny apartment.
Exploring Colorado in March, examining tree bark, petrified wood, and the way the river sounds at night when I’m sleeping under the stars.
And spending time with the one who brings me succulents for Valentine’s Day, and vintage postcards, artist books, and beef jerky when he comes home from vacation.
