thinking thursday.
Every Thursday, a few links, including one to you-know-who. (Where I can follow the serendipitous thread I followed to get there, I'll include a thanks to the person who surfaced it for me.)
mind :: my brain and your

What a logo does not have to be or do.
body :: my place and yours
Speaking of "places," I am happy to go back to Raleigh, NC, to do another reading on December 12th!
Humans are sometimes idiots.
"There is a power in the transformation that starts taking place when power surges heat us up from the inside out. There is a power in the knowledge that we have nothing to prove, not one damn thing. There is power in knowing that we have every single thing we need, that we need nothing else, that we are fully human and gorgeously odd and contradictory and beautiful just as we are. That we are hot in the very deepest, richest, metaphorically resonant use of that term. That we are not broken. That we don’t need to be fixed." – from my recent guest post on Liz Scherer's blog. (Thanks to Liz for asking me to contribute to her important work in the world).
soul :: my heart and yours
Back from war, but not really home.
How can you create fiction when reality comes to call? oh, yes.
I am going to develop a yoga practice after spending an hour a day doing yoga at the recent LIAV retreat. Yes I am. Don't try to stop me. I think I will find much in it that I need.
Give my love to Rose.
