You swing a rope around me with your writing and won’t let go. I didn’t have time this morning to read this but I did, all the way through, slowly, deliberately. Enchanted as ever by your way of spinning the rope to include the unexpected. Brava again. And again. Thank you for your ongoingness.

Sweetness, would you like a link to the Zoom? I will send it, in case you can come. I've really been thinking about our conversation and It's helped change my approach to writers. xxL

Ooooh, I looooovvve Michelle Tea. Her book, Modern Tarot: Connecting With Your Higher Self Through the Wisdom of the Cards is on my Tarot desk, and I consult it daily. It is at once delightful, insightful, naughty, empowering, and encyclodedic. A memoir of her life through the deck, it is also a grimoire of witchy spells, a feminist manifesto, and a call to inner healing. You can have it when you pry it from my cold dead fingers. It was so lovely to see these words about her this morning!

Beautiful, thank you! And I didn't know until I read about the writing retreat and saw that you walked up and down Warren Street that you are in Columbia County. I grew up in Hillsdale.

Your sentences act

as stepping stones

through slivered worlds.

What a wonderful way to start the day:

with time-traveling fun!
