The aesthetics of writing. “A solitary, unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, has mental experiences which are at once more intense and less articulate than those of a gregarious man. They are sluggish, yet more wayward, and never without a melancholy tinge. Sights and impressions which others brush aside with a glance, a light comment, a smile, occupy him more than their due; they sink silently in, they take on meaning, they become experience, emotion, adventure. Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.” ––Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.” –Yoko Ono

“Silence is a form of intimacy.” @brentbil A lovely chat with Quaker speaker and author, J. Brent Bill! After our conversation, Brent took me on a mini Quaker tour in the Plainfield area—including the Sugar Grove meeting house from 1823 and the Plainfield Friends Church from 1858 (a congregation which meets to this day).

Y’all, my friends took me to @badaxethrowing for my birthday AND they almost all wore flannel. I am one lucky woman. Thanks to those who could come and to those who sent me love and/or delightful flannel selfies from afar!!! And thanks to DeJon for the (much needed) coaching! @lbbuchleiter @jessmesman @bettyduffy2 @birtielynn @melissagreene @annegingvl @theladycaptain @shaykend @kerry.connelly @brii_bozzy @sunillois ... all y’all! ♥️🎯💪🏼
