The Planned Day
Written before the day was lived. Held lightly. Will be replaced as it happens.
The shape of the day
Home before lunch. Slow breakfast in the stube, on the road by seven. Brenner pass, the Inn valley, Arlberg, Zürich. Pull into the driveway in Uitikon while the kitchen is still cool from the night.
What to do
- 01First coffee in your own kitchen.
- 02Clay finds his bed. Stays in it for six hours.
- 03Don't unpack today. The car can wait.
A loose rhythm
- Early morningLast drive. Alps, then home.
- MiddayArrive. Open windows. Greet the house.
- AfternoonNap. Without guilt.
Why this day
Coming home is the second arrival. Without it, the trip stays unfinished.
How it will feel
Quietly different. The same house, a slightly different person inside it.
