save this for later
Trying to find a way to say if I died fighting this illness or in peace if I went screaming for a life being taken from me or any day of old age I have lived every day as three or many more and you know this if you have ever spent a thousand days in one next to me or felt with way time flies when having fun which is what I have done in the midst of the worst of it because I knew this day was a gift with terrible horrible good so whatever you say don't let it be that only the good die young I was never young or as good as you thought I was 10 feet tall and perhaps stooping to meet you a warrior and a scared girl too I was in awe of the beauty in and around me filled with joy at the smallest things but I could stare at the big things too and I lived in the sorrow of seeing them I could hold your hand in both and would I have cursed everything under the sun most of all myself and I don't think I would change that if I could of course I do have to say I stand by all the cursing and highly recommend it to each of you there is nothing I would change about the way I've loved you if I had to go and you still had to be here except to say you may have to carry some of my sorrow perhaps a big new piece of it would bear my name reminding "she was here" and you could hold it close to your chest the way I would have in the place I have preferred all I keep near in your pocket with a piece of my joy you can take out anytime you wish to whisper "she will never leave" I know no one ever really does and I would remind you to be good to the poor the needy and those in prison but I guess I've already said it in what I lived

It's a cool lamp, maybe he will get used to it. He came around about the ceiling fan eventually
A lamp- the base is wood stained teal and the shade is ruby silk and velvet and Arlo hates it but agreed to come back in if I turned the light off.

Arlo, a big white Great Pyrenees, has his eyes closed like he's meditating and his nose is very close to the camera. I'm petting him, and he's happy. The sunlight is shining on his wisdom

Ouch, just write my bio for me
An electricity began to swell in Vernon's chest. Being Bon Iver meant playing a part, and intentionally leaning into that role meant frequently pressing hard on a metaphorical bruise. He developed literal physical symptoms from deep anxiety and constant pressure. At the end of his rope, maybe done with music, and thinking increasingly about the process of healing, he finally found the time to unpack years of built up darkness just as the lockdown began. These songs are reflections of unfinished business, of guilt and anguish. "I'm a sable/and honey, us the fable," he sings in the record's closing track. Some of Vernon's best songs are the saddest ones, and there's a kind of unintentional toxic reinforcement that comes when everyone praises your most depressed instincts. SABLE, is named for near-blackbess, the record an externalized projection of his turmoil. This trio of songs represents an unburdening from one of the most trying eras in Vernon's life.

Take my hand, let's sing:

🎶If that's all there is, my friend
Then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze
and have a ball
If that's all there is🎵

I'm reading this book about hysteria from 1603, and "one that lay with her eyes shut and dumb a whole day" made me feel so seen
