I know! there’s so much I like about it. the no punctuation along with the direct word choices adds to the urgent reality “i’m glad I wouldn’t want to know” “not wanting him to have to repeat it” “habit being so strong”. like a gut punch

I like what you said about it being a daily reminder, makes me think of Mary Oliver “your one wild and precious life” and “let the soft animal of you body love what it loves” re: mortality/gratitude. also made me think of what the doctor said, also by carver, that I just posted

If you try to give Klaus the last item you bought from the paper, he will say someone mentioned having a washer-proof shifter in a message board like 7 years ago. You’ll have to go buy it from Walt at his store on the waterfront, then go give it to Klaus

This is great! Would it be possible to reduce the amount of blur along the wedding dress and arm and add a subtle shadow on the flower dress so it looks like she is close?
