we are alive together in this slice of time
I walk past a huge cedar tree on campus several times a day & the smell of it is incomparable. On hot dry days it has a toasty redolence; in the rain it smells lush & alive. Wherever my head is, It seizes my attention like a whisper: “pssssst, Jen, we are alive together in this slice of time”

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”
