lapis sky

I love that when I call hospice and they put me on hold the music is clair de lune

I think it's wonderful and also very funny that when my dad and my uncle were talking about not imagining this is how it would end for him, my uncle quoted Euripides and said something like "'nothing can be unexpected because of what is happening now".. I need to turn that over a few times. he is honestly dying so well I hope I can handle things this thoughtfully when my time comes

something about seeing primarily eastern european or baltic cities and towns on every list of lesser known summer destinations that really grinds my gears.. as if to say france and italy are overdone, portugal is becoming overdone.. but hey, you can still find something authentic in albania or slovenia.. our whole approach to traveling in this age of social media tourism is so shallow.. can't we just remember that it's not about where we go but how we go and if we can move with an open heart and some humility.
