Showing up for the week ahead / Issue 1,159

Oh, hi friends!

Writing after time away always feels strange—

No, start over.

California was wonderful. Restorative, happy—

No, start over.

How does one find a dropped thread, much less the dexterity to pick it up—

Definitely not, start over.

Maybe you can't create something great if you're stretched into a thin layer—

No, again.

Starts and stops, breaks and diversions, memories and musts.

And the world goes 'round.

Then, when you're back, you show up. 

Once and then again.

Yes, that's it.

Halting and imperfect, sleepy and searching. 

But you show up. 

Once and then again.

You're here.

It’s Monday.

You’re showing up.

Searching for perfect rhymes and/or snacks in Joshua Tree National Park.
