tuesday, five august: the fool
The picture on the card today is a baby bird perched on a budding branch. The Fool is about beginning, launching out into the world with naive optimism and enthusiasm. It's been very easy this summer to see all of my readings in terms of the new house and the upcoming move, and this one is no exception. A new house, a new yard, a new neighborhood. Last weekend we drove up and parked near the house and then walked around the neighborhood, had lunch, explored a little. There's a lot to get to know. I'm excited about this. I'm in the habit of downplaying things, talking more about the difficulties and the sadness of leaving Brooklyn, but that hides how much I'm looking forward to getting to know the new house and the new neighborhood.
Today got away from me--for something that's supposed to be a morning routine, I'm here finishing this as we watch Olympics coverage after dinner. Try again tomorrow.
