A quiet record of life and work in Downtown Johnson City. Reflections from Main Street, written in the rhythm of everyday moments.
Today at the Bookstore
As the afternoon light begins to soften, I look around the room. People are scattered across the space, each carrying on their quiet search for meaning, escape, or clarity. The scene is ordinary. That’s what I love about it. Ordinary moments, noticed closely, carry a kind of steadiness we often overlook.
