I'm reminded of an interaction I had with a young man who, after I explained my process of manually keying my first draft poems from my notebook into the computer, seemed almost indignant when I said I wasn't interested in all the ways AI could potentially "speed up" that process via dictation or whatever. I could almost see his synapses misfiring when I told him, "But being slow about it is the entire point."
Slowly stirring the steel cut oats as I read this. Both nourishing!!!
Thank you for this reminder to slow down and take in surroundings, to listen to birds and as always to write. Appreciate you friend.
Well I wouldn't mind one of those postcards... happy to do an exchange. But my address is uncertain the rest of the month...
Wonderful to read this, Laura. Thank you so much for the collages by W.S. I had no idea! I will try to write on foot in the new year.

"birds making important gestures with their hands" - snorted in the cafe at this. Love these!!
