“I wanted to use a quill pen too, wanted to immerse myself in heather, the spiky softness of it, the violet whirl, its mossy, clean scent.”

“Sometimes a dad’s job is to close his eyes and open his mouth, while his son drops things into his mouth.”

The small joyful games between parent and child are beautifully displayed in Per Olvmyr’s essay in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social

I love how this narrative actually feels like a winding path with a satisfying ending! 💜

I adore this essay by Per Olvmyr. I love how this seemingly everyday interaction between a father and son made me, a reader, feel so safe and completely in the moment. Do give it a read.
