Away We Go: Guts
The common phrase is so wrong; I don't hate guts. Indeed, I love you. Guts, please keep working. Our time together is so much better when I respect you and you do the same to me.
Away We Go: Ceremony
What are the things we take the time to gather for? What are the things that are important enough to stand in a group shoulder-to-shoulder?
Away We Go: Glitter
But whether it’s on the ocean or the lake or the roaring campfire, the light is playing. Sunlight has the work to do of growing plants and all the things that rely on them (including us) but when it hits the water it’s recess. Look how fancy I can be, it says. Watch this, it burbles. I can be useful and beautiful at the same time.
Away We Go: To Float or To Swim
Sometimes we are one or the other. We can float or we drive forward with purpose. We don't always do which one of those is best for us at any given time. Am I a sardine or a jellyfish today? Is it purposeful and swift and not especially thinky? Or am I going to float but not react with any particular speed? They are both beautiful in their own right.
