Simplicity and the Art of Knowing You

    

                            
I am currently reading a book by Souvankham Thammavongsa in which a character narrates, almost in passing, a line that keeps sticking with me.

To know someone's dislikes was to be close to them.

I find this, simply, to be true.

So today, while doing dishes and taking care of everything and every one I can take care of, I have been thinking about some of the things that I know some of the people I am close with don't like, and it brings warmth to my heart.

Cilantro. Entitled, older, white men. Sudden movements. Cold brew. Loud, barking dogs. Eggplant. 



be well; be loved,
