March ending, a list: Here, in town, I have decided that our Post Office is something of a Schrödinger situation, because you can go to the Post Office, or you can not go to the Post Office, but you cannot know whether it will be open or closed until you actually get there i.e. it might be open until the exact moment you leave the house with a parcel, whereupon it will immediately be closed, or, it will be open every time you walk past
"If you are in the habit of brushing your teeth alongside another person, morning, or night, or both, remember once in a while to gaze tenderly at them while you engage in this most ordinary and odd and ongoing of tasks." Thank you for this reminder, Ella and for your beautiful lists always.
"Again, and again, wondering how it is possible for us to live on a planet where a genocide has been happening almost entirely unchecked for 174 days." - I don't know how to be. I don't know how to keep living surrounded by casual racism, obliviousness and privilege. I don't know how to bear the heartbreak of what's happening. This is insanity.

“We are at the last edges of this low, blue, wintery light, and I won’t miss it but I also will.” 💙💙💙
All of this was so beautiful, Ella, and thank you especially for introducing me to Jeremy Miranda — what a gift for capturing light ✨
Love Jeremy’s work - your post has reminded me I have a print of his to frame and commit to a wall. Thank you for your words.
Beautiful thank you
I loved the light in the Jeremy Miranda paintings too! Thank you...
