Memory motorway: while packing found picture by @tbrittainstone from when we last lived in New York in 1993. Some amazing artifacts in there. Will update after some guesses.

In church when I was growing up, an elderly woman with bad eyesight used to hold the blue hymnal as if she were smelling its pages while she sang. She had to get that close or she couldn’t read the words. She was much more fervent than the rest of us who stood mumbling or mute. What a chore, I thought. My eyesight is now that bad. When I read, my eyes can not see to the end of sentences, so their owner has to move the book. On an iPad, I fog up the screen with my breath. So I wear contacts and glasses. This is the obvious solution and it is a very minor nuisance, but it is ultimately unsatisfactory. It means the day is mediated, synthetic. When I read with just my pokey eyes, and nothing else, the letters are clearer on the page. I am having the experience I intended to have. This applies with a riot when looking up close at the rest of the world — the dog’s snout and its marching band of whiskers, my strict watch face, the flakes of pepper. Of course you can’t live like this around people you don’t know well, because you have to get so close to things that anyone who doesn’t really know you is likely to see you hunched over and file a report. Still, the patient slowness and intention of the knife chopping through something at the end of your nose on the cutting board is deeply satisfying and rewarding to the eye. Unless it is an onion.

Packing for the move to New York. Twenty-eight years of notebooks (Field Notes and Smythson) from my back pocket. Lost five which still breaks my heart.

The man laughing behind @oprah is Anthony Ray Hinton. That a person can give off that much light after 30 years on death row from a wrongful conviction is part of his gift of grace. I won’t say more because it would be a sin to get in the way of his story as he tells it. And I won’t tell you the amazing role Lester (in the bow tie) plays because why deprive you? Hinton is the author of The Sun Does Shine which is the @oprah book pick. It will enrage you, captivate you, surprise you, wring the humanity from you and fill it right back up again with the power of love and forgiveness. It’s not just the message, though. The book, which is the @oprah book club pick, is very well written, the product of the imagination and humor that sustained Hinton as well as his skill as a story-teller and, no doubt, the skill of his co-author Lara Love Hardin. You’ll not think of friendship, rain, books or hate the same way again. The sun does shine. From inside Anthony Ray Hinton.

In my new life the afternoons are full of new adventures. Last week I spent the day tiptoeing around creosote puddles while a crane hurled squares of metal crushed to the density of a Bouillon Cube. More on why I was there tomorrow, but for now join me in looking at this pretty refurbished train from a generation ago.
