Nesting

Some nesting rituals before flying off to Seattle tomorrow for work—

• slicing the rustic and wheat breads I bought at Green Gulch Farm
• washing the knife; oiling my bamboo cutting board
• making a pot of lavender white tea
• finding passages for my imagined “Slow Writing” retreats
• hanging my string of paper birds (a gift from one just gone)
• eating up the pumpkin chocolate bars
