Today’s Beautiful sentence:
The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston
Ciğerpare. The word for someone you loved as much as your own vital organs.
I enjoyed this new book from Ashley. I met her a few years ago, and she was lovely. This book has to be one of my favorites of hers. I also love the idea of the untranslatable words used as chapter titles.
Since this is more of a definition, rather than a sentence here is another sentence for you!
The Tarot Spreads Yearbook by Chelsey Pippin Mizzi
‘I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.’

I am looking for aligned people for my new project. Is that you? Send me a message and let’s connect through writing, reading, or the love of museums. Or spoons - definitely spoons!
