celebrate international women's day

girls in twos

girls in rough draft
girls in jackets
girls on skates
girls make a racket
two little girls in water and sand

some girls kiss - it's no big wow
girls have brains
girls make messes
girls do girl things
and wear dresses.
Whether one or two or four, celebrate girls and women more.

something better."

Regarding Concentration at the Keyboard:
"We shouldn't forget that the universe moves with us, is at our back with everything we do.

Tossing in the color of the sky at the right moment lets the piece breathe a little more."
Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg

Jane, the Fox, and Me

by

Fanny Britt & Isabelle Arsenault

translators: Christelle Morelli & Susan Ouriou










Turned onto graphic and art novels by David Small's memoir Stitches, my obsession has only grown in the year or so since.  This summer I stumbled upon many new wonderful titles and Jane, the Fox, and Me is the latest object of my gongoozling.

Making every word count, making every illustration emote, Britt and Arsenault deliver a powerful story.  I heart this gorgeous...

Things change.  They ebb, flow, grow, shrink.  They shift.  With every step, with every breath, things take on a new shape, and if we're paying attention, we can get caught up in the shape-shifting and feel everything as new.  Different.  Fresh.  Somehow this is where I found myself this summer, observing subtle moments when I could feel my world revolving.  Evolving.  So, I grabbed hold and unfolded into the shifts and now, today, I find myself here at...

Welcome

Things change.  They ebb, flow, grow, shrink.  They shift.  With every step, with every breath, things take on a new shape, and if we're paying attention, we can get caught up in the shape-shifting and feel everything as new.  Different.  Fresh.  Somehow this is where I found myself this summer, observing subtle moments when I could feel my world revolving.  Evolving.  So, I grabbed hold and unfolded into the shifts and now, today, I find myself here at...
