My neglected but nonetheless beloved little space on the Internet had a birthday last week. My most heartfelt thanks to all y'all for sharing four years of words and songs and stories with me.
I'm reading Rilke right now- a selection of his letters, which are delightful, and also the Duino Elegies, which I have this vague fear may be beyond my ability to understand completely (or even mostly) but I'm trying. More on that later if I think of anything intelligent to say but for now, here is a song that I love. Seattle isn't the first place that springs to mind when I think of hip hop but maybe that's just me being out of touch because this is brilliant, to me it sounds classic and yet completely fresh all at the same time. I turned my sorrow into a song and made it an anthem. Preach on.
Happy blog-birthday xxx

I know, plus it takes away the exciting surprise of it sneaking up every year... we might miss that.
