hello dear friend of mine,
I’m back :) how have you been? what have I missed in these past few weeks? again, thank you for sticking with me. it’ll be a while ahead, but I’m so excited about the book that I’ve been working on and can’t wait for you to see it.
while my writing muscles are a little sore, I figured it’d be nice to slowly ease back into the pace of things.
the summer here had such a slow start and I’ve been spending a lot of the time thinking about how it feels to be held by sunlight. with bare shoulders and closed eyes, it truly does feel like you’ve been wrapped up in a gentle grasp. nights I stare out at the thin blanket of stars I can see from the city, I wonder what it would feel like to be touched by that kind of glow. a cooler, maybe fizzing kind of warmth, I’d like to think. to watch as a shy admirer, the way moonlight can pour itself across the streets like slow clouds of cream in a cup of tea.
how sweet it is, that we’re held by some kind of glow in the sky, whether day or night. an everyday companion miles and miles away, but still within view. two open palms in a dance across the blue. days the sun breathes hot against the back of your neck; nights the moon is just a wink. I want to wander the world under each; stomping boots and wide smile or observant eyes and gentle footfall. have you ever gazed at either light from a distance and wished to swim in it? afloat on your back, hands running through the richness of it, fingers going wrinkled? today I have two playlists for you. they make me feel the closest I can get to that plunge into the glow. wait for either ball of light to show, wade slowly in, and let me know what you think. I’ll meet you there.
songs that feel like a full moon
with love,
schuyler (sky-ler)
