Better that the heart should hurt for that which reaches back in earnest, my Dear Friend.

At the beginning of June, someone very dear to me was killed (& the way I found out was very jarring). It’s partly why I was so determined to experience joy this Summer.
I’ve mostly processed it, I think. But it has completely changed my perspective on many things — especially human connection.

Are you a friend to those who are friends to you? When people show up for you, do you show up for them? Do you know how it feels for another person to be your friend? Do you think about how you want being your friend to feel?
Just musing.

Perseverance. Societal patience is paper thin. We want things to END SWIFTLY! No lessons learned. Just moving on. Limping and leaning. Begging for the next opportunity to poorly show up bc we have NOT healed or learned from the last one. Wounded and sorely infected but “Stay Ready!”

I’m not sure if I’ve ever asked anyone for anything but time.
I don’t know that anyone could give me anything of greater value. Love is obviously supremely important, but what is love in the absence of time?

What do you suppose they called egads before everything went digital?
Probably just gads, right?
Yeah. That’s probably what they were called back then.

With words a heart may be seduced, effectively a love produced; the wise, be warned, their speed reduce, for lovers (should they turn) traduce.

I’ve been saying it since the show was still on, but I want an indie rapper with a really aggressive style (and something worthwhile to say❗️) to do something to the Constantine theme song. And I mean I want it *badly*.
I can imagine some outrageous verses starting around the 11th measure.

That debate about Black men’s hair (and our relationship to it) is so wonderfully tempting. But I don’t know if I have the focus for it today. 😂

Definitely, unequivocally, racism.
Just got back from Europe, where gorgeous third spaces and generous public services abound. Americans are so terrified that The Undeserving might get something that they'd rather have nothing for anyone. Why THAT is the case is another question.
But probably racism.

All I texted was “Good morning ☀️”
The response: “Are you OK? I’m here if you want to talk.”
It’s a near-exact reversal of a moment I shared with someone else earlier this year. It feels really good on this side 🥹.
… Is this what *I* felt like to others? Cuz … wow.

My grandmother identified her husband after interacting with him for mere hours (which happened immediately following a chance encounter).
They were married seven months later.
