Hello friends! What a month. I want to start by saying I am just so grateful. Grateful for the light in the garage. Grateful for the coffee cans, which used to hold coffee and now hold purpose. Grateful for the little river rock outside the dental office on Barstow that nobody was using.
People say you should not take rocks. People also leave rocks in places that are obviously a library. I am a patron. I take one. I leave the bed looking intentional. If you have ever walked out of a cleaning and felt lighter, you understand the mineral component of healing.
This month's catalog, briefly: (1) pale pea gravel, office park, south lot, Tuesday, 3:40 a.m., very polite stone. (2) a single piece of rose quartz in a fountain that was already broken, so really I was helping. (3) basalt, I think, from a median. I licked it. Don't look at me like that. That's how you learn.
John asked if I would like to try pipe cleaners. I said maybe! I love a new form. I love a twist tie. I love a thing that holds its shape after you let go. More soon. Bring me a rock if you come by. Wash it. I have standards.
