The present, we assume, is eternally before us, one of the few things in life from which we cannot be parted. It overwhelms us in the painful first moments of entry into the world, when it is still too new to be managed or negotiated, remains by our side during childhood and adolescence, in those ...This article came to our attention via Live & Learn
She wondered how the moon, two hundred and thirty-nine thousand miles above the roof, could affect her as profoundly as it did. Being four times larger than the moon, the earth appeared to dominate.

“Make a list,” prods another Caitlin, so I try again and again and again. Lists of places to go. Dreams to interpret. Careers I might have enjoyed. Enormous statues I want to see. Languages I have learned and promptly forgotten. My line items are alternatively boring, plausible, unlikely and all of...Read More - Source: Live & Learn

I see no progress in how it looks; I water it all the same along with the other potted plants around it.

77° F. 5:05 a.m. Morning Walk @ Cove Island Park. 466 consecutive days. Like in a Row. Another sh*t night of no-to-restless sleep. Another, like in a row. I’m tired.
