tonight

tonight i wanted to read my new sabrina book. i wanted to read it twice - once with the words as image, once with the words as text. i wanted to fall into sabrina's life as i try so much to understand my own. i wanted to dive into the rich colors, the deep questions. immerse myself in her honesty. and along the way, i knew i would be thinking of questions of my own. and i wanted those, too.

however, tonight i painted. laure came over, and we covered the kitchen table with newspaper, and we painted. for hours. we worked on the candle holders. she finished her cake topper. paint, paint, paint. we painted past the time i thought i was painted out. and it was good.

embrace the opportunities set before you. they may not be what you had planned, but dive in and enjoy.
