Bits of nature find their way into the house. Stones on the bathroom shelves. Sticks behind his laundry, next to the lamp.

The smell of fresh rosemary on our fingers in the early morning. The smell of basil lingers on him for hours.

He listens for the planes in the sky. I listen for the cars in the road.

I am feeling ready to focus on our little home. on every small thing that knits us together in love.
