What keeps coming back

Not a menu

The same six small things.

Something warm to hold

The kettle, the first cup, the thirty seconds of holding it before drinking any of it.

15 entries

Waking up slowly

The part of the morning that happens before the day is allowed to ask for anything.

15 entries

The page

One page, most mornings. Kept whether or not there was anything worth writing down.

10 entries

Windows and light

The curtain, the hour it comes through, and staying for the part that used to get rushed past.

8 entries

A candle, lit early

Lighting it before dark, before company, before earning it. Especially the good one.

6 entries

Keeping the rooms

The sink rinsed at night, the coat hung up, the bed made with the window open.

“i didn't do anything to make that happen — the air just came in, the way it does every morning whether or not i'm awake to notice.”

Read it

the curtain moves on its own

Still Mornings is a video account that keeps its words. Everything here went out as thirty seconds of morning light with a line read over it — and then stayed, because the line was always the part worth coming back to.
