to my surprise the sky had landed

last night i went for a long walk with no particular destination in mind. its satisfying to realize that no matter where you are in the world being outside in the middle of the night with snow falling all around you, your life can't get any smaller. the decisions aren't really that important, the change not that overwhelming and the hurtles not really that high.

i am totally and utterly in love with this christmas 'tree'. last night there were discarded christmas trees lining the streets. tinsel still gripping the needles and sparkling on the curb. what a waste.

my tree will be entirely handmade and meaningful. i refuse to cut down a living tree so it can sit awkwardly in my living room and then rot on the curb and in the dump for years after. this tree is so personal and adorable. i would love to do this once i have a family and have each family member hand craft a new ornament every year. the tree would grow as the family grew up and each piece would have a memory attached.
