today is the 106th day after the winter solstice, qing ming. it is a day to commune with your ancestors and celebrate the spring greenery. we burn paper money and eat crispy skin pork. qing ming rules.
i spent the day in queens with my dad’s side of the family. dim sum in flushing, grave tending in valhalla (ny).

‘I never allow myself to be ifluenced either by atmospheric perturbations or by the conventional divisions of time. I would happily instate the use of the opium pipe and the Malay kris, but I know nothing about the use of those infinitely more pernicious and also insipidly bourgeois implements, the watch and the umbrella.’
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way
