Matilda had been saving daylight for years. Her pantry was filled with Mason jar after Mason jar full of the stuff; pickled, dried, jellied. But who was all this daylight for? Her own children had passed years ago. The grandkids had all grown up and moved on. Yet, still Matilda dutifully saved her daylight every year. Perhaps the ritual reminded her of better times. I happen to think she secretly hated daylight and was trying to lock it away — a vain attempt to preserve time itself.

They say the way to test whether you have rats in your roof or possums is to place an apple there. If you find it chewed, it’s rats, if it’s taken, it’s a possum.

But I’m afraid that when I check back, the apple will have been carved by talons into a leering jack-o'-lantern.

to write a book. to make music. to paint. to poem. to point a camera at something at just the right time, with just the right & ready heart. to bottle little oceans. to catch a thimbleful of sky. to carve out canyons with an ice cream scoop. to banish the clock’s monotonous whir & dance, full of futures. to hold a swatch of eternity in yr hand, to feel it vibrating like a carpet made of ants—busy, bustling city unto itself so exuberant, riotous with dreaming.
Happy Winter Solstice!
I don't know who needs to hear this but you are important, you are loved, there is an opossum living in your attic which is why your socks keep going missing, you are valid & you matter.
Cry havoc and let slip the dachshunds of war
found an ocean in a bottle floating in this letter

Went for a walk in the #fog
Thankfully the gigantic ice spiders didn't get me, nor the angel in the cemetery next door.

Also, sorry (for the #DoctorWho fans) that which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel.

I don't make the rules! Don't blink!
