Midway, Horizon
a breather, and much for reading + listening
Lay back. Deep breathing. Altered breath state as an altar to the moment. Green tree whispering hush. Blue jay calling. Fruit growing, slowing. As summer lands, what are you noticing? Instead of our usual format, this week, a moment to pause. Today’s piece marks the arrival to summer — highlighting some favorite pieces from the first half of the year with links to listen. For now, a chance to pause. Breathe slow. Savor the horizon. Find joy in the bright tart of the longer days. We’ll resume next week.

Everywhere Green, a colorway
"Rental car, temporary bed, and green earth. This is the landscape I’d hoped for. California, where some sunlight started to thaw the rigidity of mind, heart, feeling. In the distance are hills. I wrap my body in soft jacket, blue, key the car on, and drive."
I think of Canyons, a colorway
"This was my first drive from east to west on i-40. A line drawn in dust and overnights, in playlists and parking stretched out between Baltimore and Los Angeles. Standing by the parked car at the edge of Halchíítah in Navajo, “among the red areas”, this was the moment when this love of dust pink entered my life in an instant: sun-worn, tender, fading at the Painted Desert."
