i read
that it's useful
and eventually valuable
to begin the day
with intention
good intention
inside each of us hovers, floats, winds, and weaves tiny vulnerabilities that collectively form an ecology of mutually sustaining anxieties or precious knowings. some of these form into stories.
we share our vulnerabilities through our stories.
we share our stories through our vulnerabilities.
the morning - stories hover in my thoughts - stories that haven't been written or lived out.
rehearsals abound over coffee!
really, it's about opening myself to the world of a day.
in making ourselves open we make ourselves available in the same way that a doorway, when opened, invites others into the room we occupy. they have the option of entering or simply walking by.

it's the simplest of complexities

hi ellen, if possible! steven
My day starts with a questions to myself: what day is it?
What do I have to do today?
I think I really must try your way. It is much the better way.
Hi Steven,
Thank you for this wonderful description of the writing process, and the expression of our vulnerabilities through stories, and I love your photograph. Would it be okay for me to link to this post on my blog?

Hi Steven,
Thank you. Sometime during the week, I'll be posting a link on my blog, and a quote and a link on my new tumblr account. Your words and photos are valuable and appreciated.
