Winter’s mighty chill newly surrendered to sultry springtime blankets of air. I know you’ve been there too, at the water’s edge, walking barefoot in cool sand on a warm, waining day. Yes, me too recently with thoughts of the past year, no— that years of memories brought back by the isolation of this one singular year. I thought back.
Friends, lovers, next of kin— like loose change in a pocket, many I’ve taken for granted, yet now they and others find their way into my private patterns of thought. Heartfelt feelings rearranging and changing as time slips by. Today, too soon becomes yesterday. And gone.
Not able to shake this enduring emotion I’ll now mention that the store is once again, open. Yes, at last it is, but “don’t you worry ‘bout a thing,” curbside continues. Yes it does! And curating your box, we live for it! But if or when time allows, I’d love to show you ‘round, show you what we’ve done inside. Point out the fresh paint & a few other changes. No matter, we still safely remain the same. A pure palette of freshness.
Most of you I’ve known a long time, many have not set foot inside. But I feel like I know all of you very well. What we’ve been through and where we’re going. The familiarity of texting that held us together. All of this and more makes everyone of you feel quite close.
So here we find ourselves. Hopeful and at a new place in time. Our fast pace, stopped & slowed by a microscopic viral particle. Many moments since, we now arrive. But wait! Stay with me for a moment and contemplate what life is and what it might be if we truly stop and truly see, that it is you and me and that’s the way the world is gonna be. See ya when I see ya.
MIGHT I MENTION: Peaches, both yellow & white, yellow nectarines, red cherries, Harry’s Berries too. Sweet corn, Hummingbird tomatoes, Sumo citrus, passion fruit, papaya, kumquats, morel & porcini mushrooms. Antidote Chocolate is amazing. More pastrami here, hash too. And oh yeah, Simon’s bread! Any questions?
