FROM THE THIN PLACE


Everyone prefers to stick with the subject of people, but how shortsighted to leave out the question of how we got here and where we're going.
—Kathryn Davis, The Thin Place

How shortsighted we are.

How shortsighted I am today.

Measure from nose to chin. Shoulder, to fingertip, to toe. To bills and worry and fridge mold.

Dwell in questions much bigger than you are sometimes, before you must get back to the details.

...

Also. I just began that book, The Thin Place, though there are a thousand tasks and twelve things to think about at once and this and that to do—and it is really, really lovely.
