8/30/23

 If I had three lives I would get married in two of them.

In one of them, I think 

I would eat five dried figs a day instead of 2.

I would water my plants an hour before I usually do.

I would understand protracted metaphors a little better.

I would reserve Saturday for small joys.

I would vacation in Maine and wear a straw sunhat that ties around my chin.

I would realize there's so little time between limbs.

I would find apricots a little sweeter.

I would think a little harder about how the inherent nature of a bee colony is completely based on free labor.

I would enjoy the temptations of spring.

I would wonder how I'd look as a tree.

Maybe I would pray.
