A woman opposite me on the Tube wears a black and blue, gingham jumpsuit and red lipstick. Her necklace is many slightly different squarish gold shapes together, like the mica-rich stones of a Galician beach. She runs her hand through her asymmetric blonde hair.

The train I’m on rattles along the tracks. A woman walks through the carriage in a lilac onesie. She holds her mouth closed, lips touching, to make a line, like a puppet trying to keep a thought in.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond.

It’s tough out there. For everyone. So I ask this only if you can. Apart from my books, my time and writing doesn’t pay - here on social media, or on my podcast. If you would like to support me so I can continue to offer my work for free, you can here: ko-fi.com/mirandakeeling no pressure at all ❤️

A man stands up from within an escalator at Reading Station. He is clearly working on fixing it, but I have the specific experience of shock that comes from someone seeming to do something physically impossible.

Rain drops on the train window. Beyond which, a man pushes a trolly. Another man walks past - his hair parted in the middle and long, a path through the ocean of his crown.
