The thing taking up brain space
What keeps looping through your head even when nothing is actually happening about it?
Small things for ordinary life
Big days keep themselves.
A sentence from dinner stays with you. The same shirt shows up in every photograph. A normal Tuesday passes before you think to keep any of it. Plain Tuesday makes small, useful things for those moments.

One small thing is enough.

What has been sitting there all week?

One thing to notice: What small piece of evidence did today leave behind?

The House Book
For the house that became ordinary while you were busy living in it.
The junk drawer. The view from the sink. The place everyone drops their shoes. The dent in the wall you stopped noticing three years ago.

Hi, I’m Faith.
I can remember the important parts of my childhood home. I cannot remember the kitchen counter, what sat beside my bed, or the favorite T-shirt I wore until it thinned at the elbows.
Those are the details I go looking for now. Plain Tuesday is where I make the small tools I wish I had kept beside me then.
