In my early morning “I will not be distracted today I am going to choose who and what I want to surround me,” I came to find your words. I am lying in bed, hearing the rain begin, one toe out of the covers. The ChatGPT list is all about production, that was my initial response. It made my heart beat faster and my head hurt. I am aware these days that my drive to get things done, is the very thing that squelches my ears my eyes my tongue of wonder.
I suddenly remembered a short video I’d seen years ago that sparked a million fireflies for me. I’ve often tried to find it, unsuccessfully. And so I took the damn time to find it and I share it with you: How Does Life Live? By Kelly O’Brien
Love and thanks for your words this morning, for the reminder that revisiting words and work from before is never a stale endeavor. It reminds of roots and growth, that we carry some curiosities our whole lives, woven into our work or maybe that we’ve changed our perspectives entirely.
You know how various things from different aspects of your life connect (hearing about yoko Ono grapefruit book on a podcast..now reading it here)..your words always center me...and I really appreciate you!

How do I hear about Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards for the first time today? They sound brilliant!
Nice piece, Ms. Brones. An essay to be saved AND repeated❣️
