I’ve never doubted my marriage until tonight. My husband asked if I knew the couple with the corgi that lived down the street and I said, “do you mean Wally?” And he admitted he didn’t know the corgi’s name. The corgi who has lived on our street for two years who has a heart and a soul and a song.

On my bike ride into work this morning a hawk swept over me in the sky, landed on a lamppost, and then took a dump. I never realized I held assumptions about what hawk poop would look like, but this moment absolutely defied them. If this wasn’t the Kantian sublime, I don’t know what is.

Why are we so drawn to stories and art? Because they’re our insides turned out for everyone to see — the darkness and the confetti in equal measure. 🌤️

It’s been four years since Gaby passed on the equinox, but she is often in my thoughts and her magic still touches me. She was my Kira of Xanadu. I wish we could have another skate at Moonlight, another song at the Smog Cutter, another all night hang with another flip of a record.
