It feels like sacrilege to confess that I’ve become a little bored with the cemetery, which is such a treasured resource to me…I’m usually beyond grateful to have such easy, regular access to it. And yet, after so many years of explorations, motivating myself to walk there in the morning isn’t as easy as it once was.

And yet. Most days lately when I feel this way, some unexpected novelty takes me by surprise: a coyote being sent off by an aggressive team of crows, a car plunged off a hill into a tree, and today, a sweet little surprise of a heart.

Dangling from a tree, the heart I found is part of an extensive project. What a lovely concept.
