The nightstand is where I keep what I'm reading, the journal I write in, and the few things I reach for first thing.

Once a month, on a Sunday morning, I open it up to you.

A book that gave me a new way to see something. A passage that landed in the gut. A line I copied down. What I've been making, and what I keep turning over in my head.

Just what I'm noticing and why it stayed with me.
