rivervoxWoke up (in bed ;-)) thinking about being embedded. How we are embedded in layers of identity and connection. In a body, with genetic code embedded with a instructions, connections, a descent map, in a family, in an ecosystem, in a location, in a community, in a society, in a belief system. On top of those layers we have affinities and preferences. External things that are all determined by those original embeds. A baby self swaddled like a burrito in layers of wrapping. Shielded or exposed as circumstances change. As the body breaks down, as people die, as we move, as racist ideas work against us.
Honey is embedded in Bryn Mawr. First day of class and facing some choices. She may not have gotten full credit for Trinity and that is frustrating. I'm sure she will work it out and be happily busy with All the Things. I'm sad not to see her every morning, but I know she's in the right place.
A quiet weekend, despite the big move out. Did some cleaning and sorting. Sat night we watched Spiderman 2 together. Finished Landscapers which was very strange but good. Violet and I were alone all day Sunday. We walked a bit. Had sushi and watched the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which was charming and full of familiar faces but lacked energy. Monday was a holiday, so we got to lounge about again. Got Violet her new coat, walked at Leverett and did some housework. We had our Tu B'Shevat seder at dinner and then watched the beginning of Selma.
We were going to make our usual MLK birthday cake, but Violet said that she wanted to do more now that she was older. I respect that. As long as we honor the day. I do miss singing We Shall Overcome. She found organizations for us to support on voting rights and criminal justice reform. New traditions.
Back to work now!
