how old am i?
today, i’m today.
i’m as old as whatever light touches me.
— Danez Smith, from “summer, somewhere“
Notes:
- And today, yes, yet another Time Lapse video with light progression that touched me — this despite near 100% cloud cover and light rain. 90 Minutes in 21 seconds (4:35 to 6:05 am). 64° F. August 8, 2024. Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT. More photos from this morning’s walk here.

- Post Title & Inspiration: Aldous Huxley: “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
