today’s hymns

I went inside every building in the entire town, which took a lot less time than it sounds like it would have. Of course, that’s largely because there is only one building in town and it has only one room. So all in all, I feel like I did a thorough building assessment.

an early warning

There’s something different about the light quality these days – I can’t describe it at all. (I tried. It did not go well). I feel it more than see it…

But what I can see are that the sunflowers have drooped toward the ground, literally hanging their heads.

The change in light, the change in flowers: the seasons are tilting toward change.

bowl

I really hope that in its past the “bowl” sign was neon instead of just that faded paint.

But the main thing here is that partly-painted, non-matching green wall. It reminds me of when we’ve tried to match the paint on the walls at home and every single time, it worked just about this well.
