MESH! Okay, I still am really loving the sticky-note poems! They remind me of like more organic note-app poems, and I love the aesthetic and your pretty pen colors too!

"sometimes I would rather race the dawn / just to see the sunrise"

Ahhh beautiful!! And I see a lot of ways that could be interpreted - maybe about skipping steps / life-stages to get to what we feel is the sunrise - and the desire for what we're waiting for to arrive, even if we have to run towards it. (also love how this plays with your poem #16 & #17)

#12 - love this observation about breathing! because it is so very true that we forget the effort behind wind-instruments because it "sounds" effortless!

#21 - AHH this is another beautiful observation (and see! what did I tell you about needing more music poetry?!) I very much feel this though - our church organist is GREAT at technical like keeping up with a metronome evenly, but sometimes accompanying the choir is a challenge because she doesn't always hit the "listening" part very well - and you're right that is one of those kind of key elements between "playing" and "creating music".

#24 love this one - short sweet punchy, and YES.

#25 </3!

You're ahead of schedule it looks like! Have loved reading along! <333

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Here's yesterday's and today's! I think this is technically 30? But I still plan to write through the end of the month.

I think this is three separate things? But I haven't quite decided yet.

Who has two thumbs and forgot to post yesterday? Me! And I had to type it up from my notebook, because uh. It went really messy. So. That wasn't happening at 10 last night so you get it today after work.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
