06.19.2025 - 06.23.2024 Note to self: You will recall that on these five days I have been intermittently working on a multi-part ekphrastic poem that will take this spot once complete.

The important thing is that you don't allow this to be the thing that causes you to fall into the Summer Sinkhole. Keep going.
