"you will have to choose."

Poem
Tree - Jane Hirshfield

It is foolish
to let a young redwood
grow next to a house.

Even in this
one lifetime,
you will have to choose.

That great calm being,
this clutter of soup pots and books—

Already the first branch-tips brush at the window.
Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.

Beverage
Mofawar

Medium-roast Yemeni coffee brewed with cardamom and served with cream (and sugar) as served at the nice little chain Qawah House

Scent
D.S. & Durga Coriander

I bought the full-size. It's so good! Clean, herbal, fresh, green, a little sexy, a little spicy. Worth it.

Now playing via Spotify "daylist"

Update re: "I eagerly await the day that I can order this as a replacement. It's discontinued, and I can't find it second-hand anywhere."

I found it! I ordered it! I got it delivered to the wrong place. It will get here eventually.

Also, I love buying large and shapeless clothes from Muji.
