Rosemary. 🌿🌿

My healer & my carpet vomiter.

I pray to thee.

"I have been feeling very clearheaded lately and what I want to write about today is the sea. It contains so many colors. Silver at dawn, green at noon, dark blue in the evening. Sometimes it looks almost red. Or it will turn the color of old coins. Right now the shadows of clouds are dragging across it, and patches of sunlight are touching down everywhere. White strings of gulls drag over it like beads.

It is my favorite thing, I think, that I have ever seen. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it and forget my duties. It seems big enough to contain everything anyone could ever feel."

Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

(I have hesitated for days & days to post this picture because it increasingly feels like there is nothing in this world to celebrate...but then I look to the past & the literature that encapsulates the past...& realize that we have to celebrate the moments of joy whenever we possibly can. To strengthen us for the otherwise.)

I've been re-reading "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr as I teach it to my sophomores.

It's been haunting to read it alongside the news, both national and world.

I don't say much about the news here. I haven't, honestly, said much about anything here, lately. I've been trying so hard to process, to understand the hate and the pain and the disregard.

What I will say is -- we must all continue to be very brave. To be very brave. To love one another more than we ever have thought capable.

Stay warm, friends. ✨

I'm surrounding my weary soul with fire & my grandmother's teddy bears. Lean into your guardians. 🦌🐐🦋❤️🌿

Today's magic is what you make it -- & I decided on grounding, protection, and nourishment.

I ground together a blend for my front door of ash, salt, pepper, rosemary, star anise, & cinnamon.

I'm making a hearty beef stew filled with herbs from my garden, dark red wine, & more garlic than necessary.

I'm doing laundry, airing out my home, & focusing on love, comfort, & listening.

Stew making time. 🌿✨

solipsist sunsets,

& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches."
