Helmikuu — the pearl of months #stetwalk

Ja vain täällä on sisäilma. Kuten vain saksalisilla on Kreislauf.

Mulla on ne keittiössä ja tuoksu ulottuu sopivasti sieltä olohuoneeseen. Mutta myös koska minulla on joulukuusi vielä kynttiläpäivän asti ja eivät mielestäni voi olla samassa huoneessa. Lasitetulle parvekkeelle voisiko laittaa?

‘I often think that the first dictionary a child in Gaza carries is invisible and heavy. Before they learn the names of distant animals or the months of the year, they learn to point at the sky and say زنانة “drone.”’

Just finished another lovely #writingretreat at Valo Helsinki. As we finished up, the Christmas decorations went up. The energy of a dozen women in a room, all writing, is amazing!

I wavered but I went for the one I felt sums up the feel of this year…
