Ten.One Thousand & One

1. I am moving slower these mornings. Sleep is not as deep.

2. Quick prayer of gratitude. Celery juice. Grind the beans. I don’t want leftover cake. Maybe eggs?

3. Searching the corners for light.

4. Cough.

5. I let myself get too consumed with things. Little things. Focus on the work that matters.

6. “Beyond myself, somewhere, I wait for my arrival.” ― Octavio Paz

7. They talk about the fun things at school they’ll miss like the parties, the trip to the water park at the end of the year. I tell her that the water park will be closed so she won’t miss anything at all, that no one is going anywhere, that we can’t even go to the library.

8. I finish my petit manseng while in the tub. The water is not warm enough. Maybe I waited too long for it to cool off.

9. “Your no makes the way for your yes.” - Pleasure Activism

10. The mind is always filling itself in the moments when I need it empty.
