Hello friends,

Maybe it’s the monsoon, maybe it’s long Covid, maybe it’s causeless blues, maybe it’s just been a quiet time. In any event, I haven’t had anything to write lately that felt absolutely necessary to pass along to you all. But I do have hundreds of images/links sitting on the personal confuser as prompts for future writing. So, here’s ten. May they lead you somewhere positive or inspiring.

Impossible to explain, but they tried.
