obsessed with the humour and lightness of this, and the detailed culinary notes. love it!
@ryomakesthings thank you!!! i felt like writing something fun, but also complaining about that cup of coffee lol (i ended up finishing it, it somehow got better, or maybe i just got used to the taste)
omg this was so funny and heartwarming to read... i'm imagining it perfectly, thank you for sharing!
almost took a page of of John Cage's book for the lols but felt like this had a bit more substance. "There Will be Rest" reads as very quiet, but is such a meaningful poem to me. When I took that walk in January the lines "and above me/stars I shall find" just kept repeating over and over in my mind. It was so serene and quiet and I could see so many stars, I just had to write about that moment.
He sounds like he was a wonderful man. I feel like I got a little of your love towards him through your writing- he might be gone, but it's okay to still care.
this was extremely beautiful and heartfelt!! it makes me think of my own grandparents, my maternal grandfather died when i was 7 too... all your emotions are okay and valid and please take as long as you need to grieve! - j
thank you so much for sharing this with us - it's such a bittersweet piece. I remember feeling that same misplaced anger you speak of - I don't think we ever fully stop grieving but I believe it means they left an impact on you and that piece of them will be with you for as long as you live.
