Listener“All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.” – Robert Louis Stevenson, Reflections and Remarks on Human Life


I’ve just learned that 37days has won the “Most Inspirational Blog” Award from “The Best of Blogs.”

I’m so glad these words and stories and images and questions are inspirational to you; the very writing of them is my own inspiration, my own reward, my life jacket, my buoy, my personal flotation device.

Thank you for being such a willing and prepared hearer, for bringing these words to life in new ways in your own life, for writing your own story, for engaging fully. My thanks, dear reader.Bobbutton_2
