    A gorgeous meditation on the absolute wonder of being alive. Light changes. Nature changes. Are we paying attention? Syran is and she’s asking us to pay attention, too.

    Breathtaking. This is a poignant monologue of the miraculous trauma that is being alive in a world (a universe) growing growing growing. In these short pages, Syran’s muser remarks on all of social media, the good, the bad, the in-between, as well how everything we encounter changes us (and us them), and makes us into the people we become. Deftly layered and beautiful in every way. And even though it’s a dog in the monologue, it makes me wanna hold my kitty.

    This is a beautiful painting of a monologue. Full of wonder and hope, despite the dark reaches of the universe that surround us. There is light. And there are dogs to ground us.
