Tiny Lanterns
Small, warm things to carry into dark places.
This is a quiet corner of the internet. Small art and short words about ordinary good things, made by hand and posted when they are ready. There is no feed here, and nothing is counting your clicks. Take what helps. Come back whenever.
Notice, carry, leave
The whole project is one idea done three ways. The app helps you notice one good thing every night. The zines are little folded books of art and words you can carry in a pocket. And the boxes, small handmade mailboxes hiding around town, are where lanterns get left out for strangers to find. Free to take, always.
The boxes
A few little mailboxes are out there right now, each one stocked with copies of the newest lantern. You will not find a map here. Stumbling onto one is the whole point. If one found you first, hello. Start here.

Why lanterns
Starting small, on purpose.
The app
Tiny Lanterns is also a small, private journal app. Every evening it asks what your one good thing was today. You write a line, a lantern lights, and everything stays on your phone. More about the app.
Letters, occasionally
New lanterns land in your inbox when they are ready. No schedule and no noise, and you can leave any time.
