It seems like the trees in CT are almost done shedding their leaves this season, just as we wrap up #WriteOut. As the song goes,

“The leaves have fallen all around.
Time I was on my way.
Thanks to you. I’m much obliged.
Such a pleasant stay.”

Thanks @writingproject.bsky.social for a great year.

I wish I had the vocals to pull it off.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Female Cardinals don’t get enough love #WriteOut

Great day for some 🍁outdoor rambling📝 The weather was perfect. The colors spectacular. Great bunch of students, too.

This feels so #WriteOut

One of my all time faves, despite the band’s misogyny. And, there are literary references. I mean come on!

I love this tune. My musical response is under construction. Stay tuned (pun intended).

Ramble on!

I love this idea of wonder walkers. Here’s my rainy wonder walk.

My wonders:
🍁Is the wind leaf’s transportation?
🐜Is a puddle an ant’s ocean?
💧Is the rain a drought’s just response?

Some sensory ecopoetry for a rainy Sunday. Happy #WriteOut

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
