Just imagine, the seagulls are making their way home, the ebb and flow of the sea has slowed, and Luiz is plucking at his guitar. The world is changing its colors into a more nocturnal countenance. But for 20-something minutes during the sweet spot, when the sky's gradience is shifting from hues of lavender and blue to a great wall of yellows and oranges just on the horizon, it's just you and Luiz in conversation. There are no words spoken, but his fingers form paragraphs, pages even. Passages full of beautiful secrets you've only just heard.

lots of cloudy, wet weather for me lately and so this album makes me feel like a fairy in the springtime mist

this is an ethereal folk album with really somber vocal work, perfect for a rainy evening

This book is a chronicle of the author’s life in the year after her husband unexpectedly passes away while their daughter is in a coma. I also happened to read this at a time in my life when I had recently:
a.) gotten married b.) learned a friend was dying
Seems like a bummer from the summary above, and the content is definitely heavy, but this book really spoke to me at a time in my life when I was feeling a little lost amidst some big life changes. I recommend it to a lot of my friends after they get married - there’s some really great reflections on how amazing it is to share your life with someone, and the ways that you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
I’d always enjoyed reading, but this was the first time that I experienced one of those magical moments when a piece of literature, a movie, etc. can line up perfectly with your life and help you work through some of the things that are happening to and around you.
