Photo Friday: Stillness.

Caffe’ Paradiso, Cambridge, Massachusetts. November 2006.

I’m going to pass up my hundreds (yes, too many!) of photos of Walden Pond from three weeks ago for this week’s Photo Friday (Stillness). There were two events of stillness while we were in Boston: our pilgrimage to Walden Pond and when I sat in my favorite coffeeshop for a few hours and worked and wrote. This is a photo of the latter, one of at least four or five cups of coffee I drank while I sat and read Nietzsche’s The Gay Science and recounted events from our trip in my Moleskine, in burgundy ink.

I didn’t want to leave, but I was starving, and we were going to have great Vietnamese food that night. The belly rules.
