obsessions

• dipping my toes into philosophy... heidegger and dear ludwig and the handsome but troubled kierkegaard, foucault and nietzsche and the mischievous montaigne.... i love it here
• the comment section on patti smith's substack !!! it's such a sweet little community, everyone sharing their thoughts with one another, telling stories or relating theories or simply leaving a heart for patti... and everyone kind and positive, always. i'm so glad this space exists, it's like getting a new book from patti each week, i couldn't have dreamed of a better gift :0)

moments

• dean's been cast in another film about medieval england how we feeling ladies HOW WE FEELING !!!!!!
• loving these days spent lying on my blanket in the grass, drenched in early spring sunshine and the warm kindness of azure skies, reading some mary oliver, jotting down a line or two in my notebook, closing my eyes and sleeping as the breeze wanders by... i love the spring <3
