exactly a year ago today, it rained, and i resented the departure from sunshone pastorality this represented (this year the bogged-down skies and their baleful drip make it more of the oddball same). i had at least sixty fewer followers, and yet the lines of communication hummed along, in casual splay, giving, taking, opining, acquaintancing, bantering. i’m no less interested in interaction than i was three-some-odd-hundred days ago, but apparently curation has proven more rewarding in these parts since then. whatever gives you the validation you don’t yet realize you need on a cellular level (but can cotton the dearth up on the surface, through hearts tapped and thumbs upped).

One of the most satisfying experiences I know is just fully to appreciate an individual in the same way I appreciate a sunset. When I look at a sunset … I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple in the cloud color” … I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds. It is this receptive, open attitude which is necessary to truly perceive something as it is.
But I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed…
