Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

“The creative adult is the child who survived.” –Ursula Leguin”

 The creative adult is the child who survived.

The creative adult is the child who survived after the world tried killing them, making them “grown up.” The creative adult is the child who survived the blandness of schooling, the unhelpful words of bad teachers, and the nay-saying ways of the world.

The creative adult is in essence simply that, a child.

International Women's Day

 

“If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”

― Shirley Chisholm


Celebrate Women's history month by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get mad about it, tell them they sound hysterical and need to smile more.
