“if it’s spring where you are i encourage you to go outside and smell the honeysuckle. this morning [while doing so] i remembered sniffing the little white and yellowing blooms along the schoolyard of my kindergarten. i learned from the other children how to pick apart the petals to slurp down a tiny drop of nectar. how beautiful. the child brain trust. is it ancient knowledge? don’t get me wrong,”
