If you could time travel back to the moment an artist heard a certain song for the first time, which moment would you choose?

I’d like to have witnessed Lizzo hear Beyoncé’s CHURCH GIRLS for the first time.

A dear friend had a six pack of Olys stashed in the back of her beer fridge. One of her son’s friends broke into last week not knowing what it was. We drank the last four last night. It tasted like it cost $2 at The Reef in 2013.

I Asked

Give me time to clean my eaves out.

Give me time to sort and count my coins.

Give me time to fold and paste the paper

slowly.

Give me time to walk the beaches by myself.

Give me time to pick a stone the tide can rise

around.

Give me time to find a new dock,

build a shanty, batten down, to fish and

worship wind.

Give me time to find the bottom of my lungs

and start my scream from there.

Give me time to make the tears

for all the crying when I pull you to me again.

Give me time to make another plan.

Yesterday was a really good day. I recorded a 90 minute yoga class into my phone and got a good high off of that. I took a walk and found some cool stuff on the beach I’d never seen before. I FaceTimed with Spencer and Zoe for 4.5 hours. Finally watched some episodes of RuPaul’s drag race. Took time in the morning to plan my week. It’s packed. I’m ready for day six.

“If you bring forth what is within you,

what you bring forth will save you.

If you do not bring forth what is within you,

What you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

She takes his shaking hand in the dark.

It feels good, like a root must feel, when it finds, after centuries, another root to pleach underground. There are a hundred thousand species of love, separately invented, each more ingenious than the last, and every one of them keeps making things.
