Two months ago, I would be putting the last items in the last box and sealing it. I would be struggling not to succumb to my anxiety about the moving van coming on time. A few hours later, the moving van would come, and the rest of the day would flow smoothly. Two months ago, I would wake up in the rented Hollywood condo for the last time. I looked across the dark courtyard and saw the opposite concrete condo tower, all dark. I listened to the incessant churn of everyone's air conditioner that vented onto that courtyard.
This morning I got up early and looked across the dark parking lot; the top floor of the library is visible from my windows, and it's lit up throughout the night, even though it's not open. Later I went for a walk. I headed down Massachusetts Avenue to the National Cathedral.
I liked this juxtaposition:
I'm happy that it's an easy walk. In October, on Sunday afternoons, the Cathedral offers Evensong, which I plan to attend.
Today will be a stick around the apartment day. I've got schoolwork to take care of, and tonight I have some Zoom meetings. But later this afternoon, I'll take another walk, in another direction. I loved this artsy space I discovered yesterday.
I love that someone would take the time to decorate an alley which is secluded from view:
And at another house, these direction markers to point us on our way:
