It’s been a minute! Welcome back to The ALIVE hour (and spring) ☔️

The music in this episode comes from this very inspiring and awesome Substack via visual artist Erik Winkowski. Shannon Colón, friend and creator of Somebody Might Enjoy This, recently alerted me to Winkowski’s Substack and it is just a total delight, a feast for the visual and audial senses.

How can one not want to pick this up and play with it? (As much as one can pick up and play with something that only exists online..) So that’s what I did 🎶

This video features magnetic poetry bought in January at Illinois’ Morton Arboretum…which, sidebar: who remembers magnetic poetry? I find it…v fun and inspiring and all kinds of weird and interesting. This video also importantly features a hummingbird charm from Ellyn F., and much less importantly features cherry tomatoes from Jewel-Osco.

About me: I like to make audio / videos / GIFs about: people I care about; tiny things; nature things; and alive things. If you’re new here, hi! If you’re old here, hi! HI <3 👋🏼
