I love Saturdays not because there’s less stuff to do but because the stuff tends to be quality. .

This is the actual reason I choose this work.
This touch, this care, these hearts full of love: this is the best of us, and it feels important to me to be a witness and a placeholder for what is more precious than money and things and notoriety. I only am a drop in an ocean, but that is also what waves are made of.

Even where there’s nothing, there’s something. Inside the lack of time, the responsibility, the overwhelm of practical, necessary, sensible things that must be done, there is always another tiny possibility.
A duty to honour that other waiting self, whose time will come one day.
Ann Lamott reminds me every time: ‘bird by bird’.
