picnic season is upon us 🌸 (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRdkc_sNRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This last 11k took way longer than I would have liked but happy to have made it here nonetheless 💪🏼 (at Winchester, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1MjaOsEhd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A throwback in honor of your 26th 🥳 Happy birthday Kevina! May this year bring you joy and fulfillment (and a visit to come see me 😏). https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpxwx6QOkmD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To you, oh wild woman, to your feminine and your masculine, to your curves and your sharp edges, to your honey and your bite: May the skies continue to open, showering blessings upon you. May every impression left behind by your forward-moving feet in the earth fill with water and sunlight and bloom with new life. May everything you touch turn to love. In your smile is the purest recognition of everything that is sacred, in your breath, that of the Divine. Bloom on, stay your course, keep the fire burning 🕯️☄️🎇 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiqASYPRjn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Final night in the city. Truly bamboozling. Do the things that would make a younger you simply pass away from excitement (and find a partner who’s chill with your relentless fangirling). Happy to have been seated next to a fellow @aarontveit stan who also dragged her husband to the city for this show. 14-year-old me is weeping ❤️ (at Al Hirschfeld Theatre, Broadway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZSAw_M7s4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And now, the horizontals + captivating footage of my favorite pigeon who I named Bib. (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWWL3pM8Y5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New York Day 2 🎨 We had made other plans too but ended up spending the whole day at the Met. My feet are killing me. Please enjoy this sampling of my favorite pieces, vertical edition. (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWV1auMqRL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You are the solid ground where I make port, the bright spot to which I fix my eyes, the soft space where I lay my head. Every single thread of your being is radiant and magical and I could love you for a thousand years and still not get enough. Thank you for caring so intentionally for me and everyone around you. I love you more than even I can comprehend ♥️ (at Blackwater Falls State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqSpnIMV6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
