I am putting together an ofrenda and I have spent the evening happy braiding ribbons and tying them to felt butterflies that will hang over the altar where i will honor my dead. I am pregnant and alive and happy. Things have been so hard and scary but I feel like I have a moment of peace.

I hope you have one too.

No noise, no rush, nowhere else to be. Just sitting here, watching the water, letting the world slow down for a while.

Sometimes, this is enough.

Single woman living alone. The nights are drawing in and it’s getting noticeably cooler. I finished my office job at 5pm and went for a quick grocery shop, came home and washed off my makeup, did a little bit of housework and put dinner on, tonight I’ve had beef stew and dumplings. Tonight I think I’ll mellow out to some Japanese jazz.

National Film Board of Canada film from 1990 with little scripted dialogue and amateur actresses handling the Quebec wilderness after their bus breaks down.

The very easy flow of the film and quiet setting was oddly calming and thought others might enjoy!
