Inspired by Alex Dimitrov’s incredible poem, “Love,” I wrote this. Write one, too? Or even just a few lines? I love rye toast at diners. I love finishing a book. I love being cold alone in a bed at the moment when he slips in and spoons me, his body warm with residual motion.
I loved listening to, and reading this poem at the same time. It forced me to slow down, savor your words, live the echoes of your experiences, and be in the moment of nostalgia with you. Thank you for sharing.
“Yo, I play my enemies like a game of chess…” I think I will be able to recite this verse on my deathbed. Thank you for this poem this morning, this invitation to remember all the things I love. 💓
Courtney! I loved this so much, both yours and Alex's, that I'm continuing the chain in my own newsletter. I'll send you the link once it goes out this afternoon. It's very long, so I didn't want to put it here. AND I did audio for the first time. You inspired so much goodness for me this week!
I love that you wrote a poem! And I love the poem, so much. I feel very exuberant about it all.
Patty Griffin! Romare Bearden! Bonnie Raitt! Thanks for sharing Courtney.
I love the sizzle sound when the waves are receding through the stones on shore.
I love peanut butter and banana on raisin toast EVERY morning.
I love the sound of my son's smile in his voice when we talk on the phone.

Keeping this forever.
I love this list!
