Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Forty-Five

1. We’re still here.

2. There are still too many loose ends, but I will tidy them up as best as possible.

3. Against the silhouettes of the firs and redwoods, the glowing sliver of a crescent moon.

4. Still only one contact in the eye.

5. Great. Not just one day home, but multiple days home.

6. The layered noises of a fruit day. I settle myself in the cave and get to work.

7. I wipe down the sides of the bins and start to plan the next thing. Not next year, but the year after that. April. It has to be before fire season. I listen to myself dreaming again and am grateful for the return of free thought.

8. Surprised but not. These were not good terms.

9. Certified.

10. This is going to be fun.
