On the edge of fear and anxiety
While on a hike with my friend Forest, I saw a potential place to jump into the water and so I took off my clothes and got in. He said he wanted to too. But then, when it was time to actually jump, I could see how much fear he had written on his face. He couldn't do it. We went home.

Day 30 𖦹 THE END
It's official. We have served free tea in Maria Hernandez Park every single day of April. Thank you for everything. Arnaud is playing the clarinet underneath the poem Initiation Song from the Finders' Lodge by Ursula K. Le Guin. This month was one of the most special of my entire life. It was a true honor to document the people and moments of this corner of the world. I am so grateful. Until next time.
