Lightly Child, Lightly.

we’re small
and flawed,
but I want to be
who I am

— Ada Limon, from “The Problem with Travel” in Bright Dead Things (Milkweed Editions, 2015) (via Read a Little Poetry)

Notes:

  • Photo of me by Cara Denison at 6:35 am this morning at low tide. Thank you Cara. 21° F, feels like 8° F, with wind gusts up to 15 mph. January 30, 2025. Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT. More photos from this morning’s walk here (twilight to sunrise) and here (my duck friends)
  • 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.

Merry Christmas!
