Clogged

I haven’t written anything in a while and it has me feeling clogged. I’ve started a couple drafts of posts that petered out after just a few sentences. I could blame the way Current Events are looming over everything, but I think it’s not just that (though it certainly doesn’t help). I try not to worry too much about having a point to make, this is a personal blog, topical consistency is not guaranteed. But this time I’m doubling down on that. This is a post that I am writing, more than anything, for the sake of getting a post out.

I made a little loaf of sourdough bread for my lunch today. It was sloppily and casually thrown together. The result wasn’t very pretty, nothing Instagramable¹, but it tasted just fine. I happened to have some brie in the fridge to go with it. It was a very nice lunch.

I’ve found myself focussing on small moments like this lately. There’s a lot wrong in the world, but this, this tiny moment—it’s not so bad. I hope you can find some of those moment in your life and appreciate them.
