Now

things I’ve been tending to this week

“The Ordinary Miracle of Existing”
magazine article · The Atlantic

People like me wake up pretty much every damn day feeling grateful to be alive.
I haven’t read this article yet. But I have shared it with a few friends, folks who’d appreciate reading a treatise on the miracle of human life from a scientific perspective.

“The Rain Song (Remaster)”
song · Led Zeppelin (YouTube)

Not sure I knew a song like this existed before I heard it briefly last night.
Listened on repeat today. Smiled a bunch, and thought of Jeff Buckley.

“Pumpkin Chat”
a long-distance walk with my daughter, in the dark · Marla Beck

An essay on paying attention,
tending to one other and surprise.

“a refract in 4 parts”
variations on a snapshot taken while boarding a plane · Marla Beck

There’s so much that’s interesting,
packed into a single moment.
