Very interested in your upcoming essay! And people are talking about the headlight issue, but mostly in aggrieved social media posts, Twitter/BlueSky/Threads. I wish something would happen legislatively to change it.

Wow. Simple word to a suggest brain spark. I miss our Sunday afternoon nature class. You are a blessing.

Gena, I'm putting together a new Sunday afternoon journaling class. Sliding scale. More info sooooon, my friend.

My "hole epiphany" came while reading Doug Tallamy's Bringing Nature Home. Before, I had looked at spring's new leaves and bemoaned how they were already so eaten up by insects. Now I celebrate those holes as caterpillar food and caterpillars as bird food and butterflies.

My cousin Rob works at the museum! I hope you ran across him while you were there. (Thanks for that poem—you gave me an idea for the background of a painting).

Such a powerful poem, Janisse. Thank you. And yes ... the words that bounce silently around during a co-writing session. I thank you for the sessions you have facilitated and offered. I do my best writing in those. Can't wait until they resume.

Jeanne, I still haven't started back the co-working. Don't know why I'm dragging my feet. (I need a good therapist, LOL) (And I know a good one.)
