I put it on a CD for him years ago. It became a song suspended between shitty airport bars and shuttles, an inaudible sign that we were both leaving and moving father away in miles, closer together in measures and notes. Between ticket counters and security checks we would slip on our headphones and listen [...]

field of play
By Andrea in a life unexamined, catch up, resolutionsAt this point it has become tragically obvious that in my dogged and flawed pursuit (and subsequent tragic failure) of this project, I was remiss in mentioning one particular yet key factor: It’s success was entirely dependent upon my discovering the ineffable key to manufacturing time.

a slice
By Andrea in a life unexamined, a slice, catch upWe kept it very simple this weekend. Rain threatened at every turn, so we only ventured a small trip to the grocery store and one to our garden.

there you are.
By Andrea in a life unexamined, travel{via} When she is honest, she will admit that she went to the city to be lost. It wasn’t to shop. It wasn’t to eat. It was to be where nobody knew her. It was to be in a place where the pressure of being lost in her heart could be equalized by the pressure [...]

travel on.
By Andrea in a life unexamined, travel{via} The thought had spread through her body like blood through water, the sharks of doubt and exhaustion circled each time the water grew calm. Every time she stopped stroking the hours away like waves and tread water in careful smooth parabolas they would brush her legs with their sharp, cool skin and nick at [...]
