Friday 13th November with Cap'n Bev

The usual incisive converstion started the session with no depth too deep to plumb and now foundations too solid too challenge; Socrates would smile at our Water Story exploration.

As soon as I could drag my unruly crew to literary attention we dived into David Whyte's 
Everything is Waiting for You

and wrote for 7 minutes on the question

"What is your life conversation?"... right now.


Sandra Birnie nailed it - here is her piece:




Life Conversation

by Sandra Birnie

Take a look around and touch the

timber, cloth and textured wool of it.

Your space has weft and warp

shade and stripe.

Notice the piercing sun slice centre stage on carpet.

There is drama here.

Blinds angling to be drawn.

Windows where spider nests are safe at least until the spring.

Ticking, whirring clock and laptop motor overture your day that mounts to

full crescendo of crashing and boiling cleaning machines.

Breathe.

Sit.

Take it in.

There’s a lot going on.
