I have a pinboard on Pinterest called “Where I want to be right now.” (If you click on that link in the previous sentence, you can visit. Highly recommended, because I’ll bet you’d like to be some of those places right now, too.) Where I’d like to be right now, though, is in bed. And [...]

love letter to a porch
I’ve been looking after a friend’s place while she’s away. Every other day I water one of her trees. While I wait for the water to seep into the parched earth, I sit on her porch. I bring the same magazine, day after day, and re-read it from cover to cover. (I’m afraid of changing [...]

my kitchen smells like
My kitchen smells like ghee and steam and the soft, dry perfume of fresh apples. My kitchen smells like cold water on brass taps and handmade soap with flecks of spices in it. My kitchen smells like washed hands and unwashed brow. My kitchen smells like hungry cats and traces of feet on my yoga [...]
