beautiful saturday. cold and sharp, cutting right through your layers. i'm bundled up drinking a latte and looking up yoga retreats at a favorite coffee shop. it's warm, full, and loud.


the way we define and delimit the self is arbitrary. we can place it between our ears and have it looking out from our eyes, or we can widen it to include the air we breathe, or at other moments we can cast its boundaries farther to include the oxygen-giving trees and plankton, our external lungs, and beyond them the web of life in which they are sustained.
