Election Day!

Sometimes, I get distracted, and I forget how long it's been since I've done something other than do work and read papers and translate words and go to bed; but then I'll notice something, like, the colors of the leaves outside my window, and I think about how if I could just sit still for a minute and stare at them, maybe I could absorb the satisfaction that comes from just contemplating something so beautiful.
