sometimes i think about a shot for weeks before i actually make the time to go shoot it. this is one of those.

i don't know how you can pass something like this almost every morning of the week (granted at 7a after 1.5 hours of bikram yoga) and not stop. but today i detoured, post-work, post-dinner, post-post-post.

i'm not sure why it's there but i have my ideas.

a top ten

- the way the snapdragons that came to me - so unexpectedly, like they had been summoned there - lean in their makeshift vase, willing me to laugh.

- the simple quiet of an empty house on a weeknight, unplanned.

- the smell of garlic.

- this song: thank you, joanne.

- the seedlings of hope.

- my cacti.

- sunset neighborhood walk.

- my handwriting on the page to jess.

- books of poems.

- the liberating feeling that our existence is, ultimately, an entirely pointless and fleeting dot on the map of the universe.
