Magical realism
Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

Still fills me with hope knowing that despite our best efforts the earth will do what it must to protect itself. Then again that could be read very differently…

once a stranger stopped my friend and I to ask for directions to the library, and told us that she tries to fill her bowl up every day. immediately after, we saw a shooting star. this reminded me of that moment, hope you are also able to hold the uniqueness of it

Leaving the city this sunday evening to catch the peak of the perseid meteor shower
As we pass through debris left by the tail of a comet twice the size of the one that caused the K-T extinction event
A humble annual reminder of the fragility of everything, how lucky we are to cross paths with this behemoth that shares our star, unscathed and witnessing something beautiful!

OPening your windows when it rains
There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.

Taping Old Postcards / Photographs Onto Your Walls
I have done this everywhere that I have lived. There are some beautiful images lost on the discarded blank face of a postcard, and they deserve to be cherished just as much as the big piece of art you have framed in your living room. You can find many for cheap at your local thrift. There’s a lot of fun to be had in grouping different images together for a collage effect. Space them out a bit more if it all feels a bit claustrophobic. Use some blue painter's tape for a pop of color.
