I took out the trash earlier today, which is always an experience.

Water dripped from leafy canopies and onto my hair from an earlier rain, a pleasant chill that was not enough to remove the waves from last night's braiding. Gnats and mosquitoes buzzed around in pre-storm excitement as I hauled the trash across crumbling asphalt. Because of the aged roads, steering requires both hands here, even though the can has wheels. I kept moving, so that nothing with wings could bite or sting. It wrenches my back a bit, and makes me dream of automated, rechargeable trash can wagons. Maybe an electric skateboard. Regardless, a silly dream, not truly wanted, just mused over to fill time during the walk.

When the task is done, I come home. After washing my hands, I slice a banana in two halves, layer a few spoonfuls of oat milk ice cream over them, then drizzle a bit of chocolate and a frozen cherry on top, each of these a profound decadence. I rarely have this, so I've been making these last. The sprinkles are pretty, but perhaps they are expired. Still, the already melting dish feels better with a splash of color, so I allow it.

I take these to my wife, who is taking a moment to play Animal Crossing. She's recently unlocked a new room for her character's house, and she's redecorating in there. Inside, there is a DIY bench, and around that, a dazzling cornucopia of brightly colored, digital baked goods spills across the entirety of the room. She's making breads, and pies, and cupcakes, and curries, taking little vegetables and grains from the digital gardens we've made and creating a world of little treats. They somehow feel real, maybe because they often are. She loves to bake, and I'm so fond of the joy this brings her. Whenever she is creating, magic seems to shimmer around her.

I sit beside her with the treats I've made, and look with shared thrill as she excitedly shows me all of the recipes she's unlocked. We found pumpkins being sold by Lief for the first time recently, and bought 30+ plants, so our options for digital food have expanded in such fun ways. A villager, Skye, gave us a recipe for peach pie, which is another delightful thing to look forward to, as we have yet to find peaches on any of our island visits. It looks so fun and cute, little streams of steam floating above a twirl of sliced and spiced peaches.

I lean on her shoulder, the most precious space to rest, and we eat our melting banana sundaes while watching her character cook some more. These moments have been such a balm lately. There's so much going on, but there is also this, and it matters beyond my capacity for words.

The Awakening of March On this first day of March, we stand at the threshold of awakening. March arrives neither with winter's harsh certainty nor spring's exuberant promise, but rather with a whispered possibility that hangs in the air like morning mist over thawing ground. There is something profoundly liminal about March—a month of transition and contradiction. The earth stirs beneath its blanket of winter's final snow, life quietly preparing its return while remaining invisible to our impatient eyes. We exist in this beautiful tension between seasons, between what was and what will be. In northern landscapes, March brings those first days when the sun's warmth finally begins to win its battle against winter's chill. The quality of light changes, stretching longer into evening, casting shadows that seem to reach toward something new. The world is painted in browns and grays, but look closely and you'll find the first brave green shoots pushing through soil still cold from winter's grip. March teaches us about resilience and faith—how life continues its cycle regardless of our perception. The trees stand bare but their branches are heavy with buds, a silent promise kept year after year. Birds return from distant journeys, their songs a testament to the ancient wisdom encoded in their small bodies, trusting in the turning of the world. Perhaps what makes March so poignant is how it mirrors our own human experience—the courage to begin again, the patience required for transformation, and the faith needed to believe in what cannot yet be seen. We too exist in these in-between spaces of our lives, these March-like moments of becoming. Today, on this first day of March, we are reminded that change comes not in dramatic gestures but in quiet persistence—in the slow melt of snow, in the gradual warming of earth, in the patient unfurling of new life. And in this reminder, there is both comfort and invitation. -Etheric Echoes Art: Etheric Echoes #ThresholdOfSpring #BetweenSeasons #MarchAwakening #NaturesSilentPromise #SeasonalTransformation #WinterToSpring

Sometimes it really strikes me that I have a wife now. I was not looking for any kind of relationship when I found her, either. I just found her, and then everything changed around her. I was gravitized in a way I've never been before. The flow of time around her is the spiral at the center of the universe, and I love to be beside her here, holding her hand as we watch the eternal spin.

I shudder to think how the years previous would've gone without her. She made it all tolerable, and even enjoyable. As a person, I feel I'm a wreck still, but I'm less of one than I would've been. She pulls me from the salvage. We have kept each other's heads above the water. There's a place between us where listening gets to thrive. I never want to share all of my words online anymore, but even if I did, there would not be enough.

I married someone who I love completely, and she's someone who loves me completely, too. My head spins about it. I want her to know always how loved she is, and how loved she is right now.

It’s true the sun has a hunger, but by and large, don’t we know it for its warmth? The same is true of you and me: I, with my restless gut, and you, with music-warmed skin. We don’t name constellations to tame them, but to stand in awe of them, and you and I, love, know well the power of naming for the sake of awe. Yes, skies will come and skies will go, but I refuse to think of them as graves in the same way I won’t think of the ground in this way. Yes, there are endings in the richness of the earth, but also from this springs every flower in this life.

The sky is ours for now, and will be someone else’s later, and I hope it will thrill them, too. For now, brief-lived insects warm their wings under our star, instinctively loving how it grows a home around us all. The light stretches so far to reach us, a testimony to how much it wants to be here now, dreaming for a million light years of the simple pleasure of touching your face.

I can’t say if the sun ever cries to see how limited a life can be, but I do know that the sunlight yearns to know us. Though we all may someday fade, for now, we carry life and music inside our bones as a litany of lyrics and awe, love rooted through the marrow. What grows from us is luminous and dancing, because we decided it will matter, and so it does.

Every life, and every hand hold, glimmering with us in the light that wants to be here. I don’t know how many hits the world can take before it crumbles away, but while the ground is still here, and we are here, too, there are as many reasons to stay and to love being here, as there are atoms within the light.

for @dustlines .

Will the sun eat us up

If we're just a flicker in the dark,

In our sky, our stars, our constellations we named after our own stories

Might have memories of their own

A whole species born and gone

The sky as a cemetery, not like heaven,

Though if you think of it as a pretty thing,

A heaven it could be, to rest there forever glimmering for others to yearn towards

But then aren't we that too

To someone out there, right now, or later, one day, a fuel for their dreams,

A sign

If the light takes years to reach us

Are we talking to each other now?

Are we speaking, will we get to touch fingertips before our times catch up to the middle, where we can never be,

Both, at once?

A bug's life seems so short, we could cry about it

Would the sun laugh, or cry, for us?

If it could see us, if it could hear, and if we could know

Would we make it our god?

What's beyond?

Russian dolls of life crying for each one inside

Do I need a magnifying glass or a telescope?

Will you write for me, before our words fall back into our bones, to dust, to sun, to space, to substance that hasn't made you yet, hasn't made you.

All this means something just because it can.

If it breathes life, or holds your hand,

If you know me, really, and still want me here,

You're sleeping and the earth almost quakes with the thunder, and I'm thinking about our planet in the nameless dark,

how things ended fast, for the dinosaurs,

how the sound outside, that's what the end is made of

But I'm okay,

I'm next to you,

And so it's safe, and time is long-

It's all been right, since we get to be in love.

Feb.9.2025.

立春を迎え、新たな季節の巡りが始まった。

国中が今季一番の寒気に覆われた先週は、奄美大島にいた。

さすがに雪は降らないけれど、毎日猛烈な寒風が吹きつけてかなり寒い。

今はヒカンザクラが満開、「寒桜」なのでいちばん寒い時期に咲く。

夜はいつもの所で暖まる。 @hana.keishi.1015

福岡に戻るとやっぱり寒い、蕗のとうもまだ硬いみたいだ。

今週は、2月11日（火）・12日（水）・15日（土）に営業します。
