Vacation's all I ever wanted! Vacation, having a getaway!

Drink and Pass the Cup Dig deep or build big? How do you want to be remembered, if at all? I think I want something like "He took his fill, and no more than that. He left a little while ago. There's plently left."

Gossip in the Solar Panels The fields are sprouting solar. I imagined a fork in the road: one-way solar punk abundance, the other dustbowl planet rot. But either way, the fields will have need.

After every session, I write 10 #affirmations. It speaks greatness into any doubt that has crept into the #process. #Writing is the long haul. Cheer yourself on!

I can do hard things.
I can do hard things.
I can do hard things.
I can do hard things.
I can do hard things.
I can do hard things....

People don’t wanna hear it but a midrange shooter like Air Bud would have no place in the modern NBA

When My Breath Goes Upstairs or Noticing Mindfulness practice is just when I notice I'm breathing. The gratitude is the benefit of the practice. The cost is patience and repetition.

The game flow is very satisfying. Needs maybe two games to "get it". I felt like we all hit that point in the first game where we were ready for a restart.

The shadow of the house keeps the little back patio cool until 10am.
I of course take this as a #writing timer.

#boardgame Saturday continues with civ.

Been Broke There is a cost to language and there is a cost to silence.

There is a cost to language and there is a cost to silence. I worry about the easy choice. I worry people won't speak.

Wild idea...good sleep makes me want to #write.

This was written in the morning. After 4pm, I cannot be held accountable for the implications of these healthy choices.

Now must be enough. #writing #wip #amwriting

Before you go for Andrea Gibson when the famous poet dies— the one who sheltered death from slander and promised us it was no act of leaving— you try to follow their lead and plead to the sun I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place. it hurts to become something new before we go [satellite, volcano, open door] and you aren’t ready yet: you still think you can write to survive your heartbeat [like our vessels will outlast us] but they were always spilling love like it would never run out and maybe a life doesn’t need any longer than that.

"Before you go"

for Andrea Gibson
