Stream of Conscious

I write upon waking every weekday and have made a concerted effort to read, bracket, highlight, and absorb it over the weekend. It is amazing. I am really reading my own mind. Remembering what affects me in a myriad of ways. What I’ll accept and what I won’t. To know oneself to become the best version of our own person is the reward of this time. This indulgence started in the 07-’08 year-long sabbatical from teaching. I had the freedom to write more intentionally, while at the same time create a body of art that was both serious and playful. It led to my first website in 2011 and now this new one that will demand that I attend to it. Now, along with making art, finally, finally, I can think more about writing in a more structured way.
