Even though I consider myself adaptable—to a fault!—and could live without most things, being able to walk absolutely everywhere I want to go keeps the good feelings going. I am so scared of the inevitability that one day my body will not support that (but I plan to survive that too).

i think in college i got so used to walking just for the sake of getting to a place, like a class or meeting. i am trying to go out and Wander more, led by instinct or curiosity and paying closer attention to everything around me. even better with a friend or two

I love walking and will walk nearly anywhere. The mind goes further than the feet. Steven Wright says anywhere is walking distance if you have the time. A dancer friend once told me something one of their instructors told them - there is no walking, only constant falling.

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk
- lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
