The Fragment
Dark blue ink on handmade cotton paper sealed in yellow wax.
This one carries the spell of care made real by repetition.
It may be:
- A threshold fragment from a place held dear
- A quiet invitation to tend what you love
- A whisper for the wanderer who still longs to belong
To tend something again and again—
not to perfect it,
but to keep it beloved.

Reflections from the Weaver
Not every kind of magic shouts.
Some lingers in brushstrokes over old walls,
in shutters that close just right,
in flowers that bloom in public,
unclaimed yet beloved.
This is a different kind of enchantment—
not conjured, but cultivated.
Not dramatic, but devoted.
A kind of care you almost don’t notice
until it’s missing.
A rhythm of upkeep that whispers:
“You matter. This matters. Let me tend it.”
What if a country could cast that spell?
What if you could?
This was written on a quiet walk, between a cracked wall and a flowerbed someone had clearly planted for joy. Not for show. Just because it made the space kinder.
I’ve lived in places where beauty was performative.
Where care was extracted, not offered.
But here, in this corner of Switzerland, I felt something different:
That presence itself can be a form of love.
To belong isn’t to dominate.
It’s to tend.
To see a crack and choose to touch it, not hide it.
To choose care not as obligation—but as devotion.
And it made me wonder:
What would it look like to love a language that way?
Or a body?
Or a story?
There are places that impress you.
And then there are places that enfold you.
Not because they dazzle—
but because they’re loved.
Not in the way of grand gestures,
but in the way someone keeps a thing alive:
a bloom watered,
a path cleared,
a tile repaired.
This is the kind of tending I crave.
The kind I try to practice.
To care not for effect,
but as a way of being in the world.
