It’s Thanksgiving week and I feel like I should write about gratitude in some pointed way. But I’m less interested in pointed ways than those soft and cushioning. And so. The candle that flickers on my desk. I know I ought not to have it sitting so close to the external hard drive … Continue reading Soft Cushionings {or Thanksgiving}
