  • Phoebe’s Voice

    I’m recovering from a concussion and I have to spend days lying still, minimal movements and no screens to watch or books to read. Minimal noises as well, but when I need a short break from the silence: a delightful This is Love episode and Phoebe’s voice, with a cool compress over my eyes, is incredibly soothing.
