What I'm doing now

WHERE

Near Oaxaca, Mexico. The light here in May is something else — golden hour stretches for so long it stops feeling like an event and starts feeling like the default state of things.

READING

The Overstory

by Richard Powers

— slow, patient, exactly the right speed for a long bus ride. I keep stopping to look at trees.

WORKING ON

Finishing the Costa Rica logistics. Writing more than usual — mostly in the mornings before it gets hot. Letting the music breathe between sessions rather than forcing it.

LISTENING

Have One On Me

by Joanna Newsom

— three discs deep and not done yet. There is a patience in this record that feels like instruction.

MOOD

Patient. Curious. A little homesick for nowhere in particular.
