An invitation / No. 01

Stay here.
For five minutes.

One familiar window. No equipment.
Just a little space to look.

  1. Choose a view you pass every day. Find a comfortable place to pause.
  2. Look for a shadow, a leaf, a roofline you have not noticed closely.
  3. Write one sentence about what you see. Leave the explanation for another day.
Following the year

Nothing stays
quite the same.
