So good, Serena! Hearing your words makes me feel like a normie. Ironic, right?! I stumbled across Iconik coffee the first day and never left. The coffee was amazing. It was the hot-chocolate-made-with-milk-and-a-bar-of-chocolate of coffees, not an “also ran,” like powdered chocolate mixed with water.

You’re right about so many things: the mystique of Julia Cameron (so special), and magic that lies in-between. Why does it happen in those small fleeting spaces?!?!

Right now “my song” is ‘Crazy Love’ by Poco. Listen, rinse, and repeat, over and over. Like you, the song changes, but not before I’ve listened to it a bazillion times for a period of time. Have you figured out a way for it to repeat without having to manually set it every time?? Love the long walks playing my song.

Love your recap. Right on, Sister. Keep rockin’ and playing. It is sooo important! ❤️

My new mantra is Never clean when you can be creating. Thinking of making a slight change— never do anything when you can be playing.

Excellent. I happy for you to have had this desert revelation, classic visions walking alone at twilight. The home of ideas.

I’m changing your name in my phone to “the Queen of Change”.

I have quite possibly never been so touched.

The walks with friends, walks with lovers, walks by oneself, are all beautiful poems in motion. An openness for body and for spirit and mind too. Sometimes when I hear “talk it out”, I counter with “walk it out”. A double-doozy. The desert is a doozy, and a willing and playful one at that.

Thank you for doozying my desert days and for plucking the b-note of a song that I so desperately needed to hear. Muses come in many forms, sometimes concrete and at times ethereal. I like the ones that take both shapes at once.
