"To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest."

Every November since 2013, I turn my world upside down and become an Official Blogger again. I link virtual arms with my community and skip/cry/swear/pray/comfort-eat/laugh through the month.
Most years, I drag myself into the beginning. I only start enjoying it once it's happening, once I get into the habit of being overwhelmed by the beauty of the world as expressed by the talent of my friends.
This year, I'm sashaying out of October.
This year, November feels like going home.
I can't wait.

Yes, I'm sad right now, but I'm grateful for it. Grateful I'm healed enough to have the time and energy to feel.
Yesterday activities! ... though I only made it through half our plans, I did get to see the city from a retro third story balcony, and sip a non-caffeinated marzipan drink.

This weekend. Let's talk about prison.
After a nearly 4 month long hiatus, I peek back into the wild of the blogosphere. New post on Rarasaur.com . "Once, I read a fairy tale about a man who could swallow the sea. How he drank it down and walked across. How he turned a body of water into a skeleton, and then, how he turned his body of human upside down, and poured it back." #Over5HoursToWrite370Words #🥳

"And the prompt says, Write A Poem About Your Body"
Celebrated the 10 year anniversary of our city's largest-- and the world's warmest-- open mic. 🎉 I have thoughts about what I'm going through right now, but this post is about the blessings of a village, the work that goes into regular events, the grace that goes into a truly open stage. I am grateful.
