A Rainy NYC Saturday

The Olsen twins captured my mood today, on this rainy NYC Saturday.

I want to move around but also melt into a soft blanket. I want to scribble in a notebook but also want to start learning a language that has zero familiarity to me.

I want to read a stack of books but also write a stack of books.

I want to prance around in a onesie but also wear a long wool coat.

I am sitting here, sniffling with a pile of tissues stuffed into my cushy robe pockets. Warmth.

Ahhh autumn. A season pregnant with contradictions and possibilities.

Hot/cold.

Cozy/crisp.

Slow/fleeting.

For now, the steam rises above my tea cup, and the smell of cinnamon is enough.
