Really liked this and things came to mind immediately as I wrote in my notebook: the smell of old dirt, glass doorknobs, Excel spreadsheets for organizing things, all kinds of notebooks & TUL pens, statues of spiritual deities, much more. And this made me think of something I hadn’t been able to describe but have been thinking about, which is, what is the “source code” for my current book? The essence of the feeling I want to have while writing it. For example, one very specific feeling is how I felt as a teenager in the 70s perusing small catalogs of china and crystal. Only makes sense to me, but it’s part of the source code of this book. Thank you. Jami. 🙏

Loved this idea of source code. Wild rhododendron, woods, words, books, jeans, linen, nice pens and paper, libraries, nerds, soft hearts with tough exteriors, tea.
