A note from LoveLetterist:

This transition to handwritten letters

is slowing me down

and therefore,

opening possibilities.

I don't know who said,

"Never underestimate the power of an invitation."

Do you?

It reminds me of my friends Heather and Jeanne who invited me to my first yoga class

that opened a door

for me

to start transitioning myself into the

person I continue to

stretch into.

Perhaps the “wild and gleeful thing” Mary Oliver spoke of? Seems an apt description of your becoming.

Stopped at the library after the marsh today. The perfect poetry book model picked me from its place on the shelf! :)

And I learned it’s illustrated by one of my favorite authors — Natalie Babbitt. I had no idea she created visual art, too!

I liked your inclusion of Silverstein’s quote. Is “Where The Sidewalk Ends” also “Where The Wild Things Are?” 🤔

Calliope went on to say, “… Transitions are like shifting gears. To speed up or to slow down. Both serve us well.” Tal declares, “Time waits for no Muse! Let us break crayons together on our knees.”

Love the idea of being a wild and gleeful thing. (Mary Oliver?)

I very much appreciate your voices for Cal and Tal! Thank you.

Not exactly sure what shift is coming next.

With a fellow creator, I'm pondering "live book" and book "guided with reader input".

Letting it percolate.
