#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

My youngest is here, and so we walked together, early, into the cold, under the moon, past the brook and swamp. We relaxed together in the woods, a nice way to warm up to our collaboration later in the day leading a webinar. Inside, I went to my Thursday morning poetry workshop and brought my Chilmark poem and it was very well appreciated, the growth, the changes, and the advancement. I felt quite satisfied. Another couple of suggested changes that I agree with. The other poems shared in the workshop were rich and complex and beautifully crafted. I broke for lunch feeling very satisfied. Tonight, my daughter and I led a writing and playback webinar with participants from all over, including someone from India, where it was morning. At the end of the webinar one of the participants shared how wonderful it was to see a mother and daughter presenting together, and that was so nice. It felt very natural, stressless. We do collaborate well together; always have. There were some quite exquisite moments of artistry. Amazingly, we co-present a different playback and writing webinar tomorrow night for the IWWG. I better get some rest now!
