Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to

There’s this glorious big dogwood tree outside my office, and right now it’s in full and glorious bloom. Honestly, it’s stunning. I want to spend half an hour comprehensively photographing it every time I walk past. On my way out to the carpark yesterday, I overheard one of the head gardeners chatting with a woman
Ermagersh you guys. A friend sent me this the other week and I was just like. 7 seconds in, I was sold, and it only got better from there. This plus Malinda’s Fearless from the other week are my new “play them till the record breaks” song for the rest of the term. Yay! Aladdin
