Today in the shower I conceived of a new section for my blog: Things I see. I will initiate it today. Its title is self-explanatory. It will be about the moments that somehow slip beyond the monotony to become standout. And as an extra special bonus I will post a picture of me alongside of it, for those of you who are missing seeing my sweet face.
Let’s begin: this morning I saw my oatmeal spinning around in the microwave with honey and cinnamon and a touch of milk. This afternoon, on my walk back from class, I saw a police officer leading a school bus across the intersection of Ellauri & Avenida Brasil. He stopped oncoming traffic to do so, which led to an angry mass of honking hatchbacks. Then tonight, as I stood in a headstand in yoga class, I saw a fly marching across my bright orange mat. “Hello, little fly,” I thought, “how silly you must think we all look, standing on our heads.” But who knows, a fly that lives in a Yoga institute may not think it odd at all.

Those small, beautiful moments are what keep me going everyday. Sometimes I think if I were an artist, I would spend my life collaging those teeny memories and moments. XOXO
