Some of the most beautiful things are imperfect. That's a feature not a bug. The perfect, in some sense, isolates us from an object because we are not perfect. But the imperfect, the loved, the used, and the worn feels like home. It's beautiful.

Every morning, as long as it is over 30 degrees, I drink my first cup of coffee out on the front porch. Watching the world wake up with me, out in the cool air is nice. The birds, a few jets in the sky overhead, the quiet, a new day.

I hate my posture when I look at my phone and sit at my computer. I look like a hunchback. I know I am not alone. It afflicts all of us. It is disgusting and I am trying to fix it.
