I’ve been thinking a lot about time these days, and the different ways that we mark its passage. I have always counted years from September to September, with the start of each new academic grade marking the end of the old year and the start of the new. When I was younger, I counted the years from Passover to Passover, while others I knew marked birthdays as beginnings and endings. The measure of a year carries weight it is how we mark milestones, mourning, and growth. It is a significant amount of time broken down into 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,765.82 hours, and 525,600 minutes.

Day 10 of quarantine and my life has become a playlist of songs I dance and sing in the 120 meters of my new home for it is not yet time to cross its threshold.
My apartment is a womb of such. It is comforting and protective as I let the music my husband plays for me help me process all that I feel, clarify all that I am thinking, before I am ready to emerge and embrace my new world.
