Today's coffee is Water Avenue's Boxcar, a dark roast that is sharper than I usually like, but still delicious.

Face in clouds

cygnoir

Sometimes I withdraw from being online so much. It goes in cycles. Right now I feel like I can't share only positive vibes, and I don't want to share negative ones because there are already too many of those.

My mom found a tape recording of six-year-old me, reading to my grandfather, who was in hospital. I checked out a tape converter from my library so I could save it for posterity.

Time transforms grief, elongates it, spreads it more thinly over the crevices of each day. Less puncture; more papercut.
