The East Window

A Monday morning at the desk: a rather unpopular opinion about Mondays, a new book beside the lamp, and a first long look east. On the pouring, the love that happens before anyone arrives. Elias and Jacob and a ginger cookie in April. Jo, the milk jug, and one of the great triumphs of human civilization. Five in the Foil. The kitchen makes warm apples on buttered toast, and a room across the water keeps a second chair.

Come In. It’s Already Warm. is making its way into the world. The book, and everything else we are making together, lives at averylanemaxwell.com.

A small note before we begin. This is a personal podcast. I tell these stories as I remember and understand them, from my own life and perspective. When other people wander into them, I protect what belongs to them.

All right. Come in. It's already warm.

Good morning. It's Monday. And I have a rather unpopular opinion about Mondays.
