Making me smile this morning …
The delightful essay Solitaire in Talking Writing Magazine, that brings to mind that conundrum I’m experiencing this month of balancing discipline and productivity with just a dash or two (or three) of what I call creative procrastination.

Bullying. No, I have not seen the new documentary just released, though I hope I have the courage to watch it when it comes to my area. I’m referring to comments made in the Ezra Keats biography mentioned in yesterday’s post, and stories told by Mister Rogers in a documentary now airing on PBS. How both men as young boys were bullied and how the experiences influenced the art of Mr. Keats (check out Goggles) and the life work of Mister Rogers (see Mister Rogers and Me).
Making me imagine …
Dandelions. Through the office window where I sit, I see a field of dandelions in a garden that my neighbor has yet to prepare for planting. I imagine going over to my neighbor, whom I have never met, and asking her if I might pick those “weeds” and turn them into wine as I once did as a child back in Virginia. She might hear me out and then slam the door. Or, in a month or so, I might be sharing pics of mason jars filled with citrus-infused homemade brew. Time will tell … 😉
