my week in objects (mostly).

1. this hand-me-down bonnet.

{for being already almost too small, but not quite.}

2. this bathing suit hung to dry.

{and the borrowed car and the empty beach.}

3. this morning project

{and the bulb catalog for the raw materials.}

4. these fallen and found rose petals.

{and kids who brought them home.}

5. the condensation on this mug.

{and ice cubes.}

other things:

if you read one thing today, make it this.

from the equal justice initiative: reconstruction in 6 minutes and 19 seconds.

as relevant now as ever.

bake sale. (also: for the culture.)

forward movement and backwards again pattern.

foundational to the idea of American freedom.

run for something.
