I really enjoyed this, Rachael! It’s amazing to me that I can be in a very loud environment and breathe deeply (concerts, a dark yoga studio with music and heat turned up high) and also a very quiet environment and feel at peace (the woods, the shower)

As someone living where fall barely exists, thank you for your vivid picture of the season. I love a good quiet porch moment! Me and the sound machine have a love hate relationship- most nights it’s exactly what I need to get the zzz’s except on the rare occasion where it’s somehow too noisy? Sound is weird - or two-way as you say - a wonderful observation.

That's so it! That duality can be so curious (and sometimes baffling? puzzling? mysterious?).

My heart wanted to scoop up the girls and hold them when it came to their last, beautiful, heartbreaking sentence. It captured something almost sublime. Just lovely. Bravo.

I am just like your girls when I hear the ice cream truck (at 36 years old)! You captured that joy perfectly.
