Funny thing, road trips.

discoveries abound

in the form of mix tapes, photos taken

and not taken

meeting of minds

gentle

and 

open

daily three: November edition

1. Is this not the best song ever for chilly days?

2. Make soup everyday in chilly times. 

(What? How time-consuming— and yet, in so many other cultures, 

soup is the norm as part of the meal or the meal itself.) 

And delicious deep down.

3. Immersion blenders:

though daunting at first

with a little care

as it turns out

— NOT so scary.

paper story *actual paper

you meet someone truly wonderful 

the first time

you don’t think twice 

in regular times

first thought-forming words

if you’d just been seen 

future absence of green

long season

for anyone

except for 

perhaps 

the time 

a very good book

within saved your life with its wisdom 

your breast a stirring for things not known

by yourself

(or even others)

a time long ago

an instance

you were truly you 

fall foto fun!
