Soft, wet, flowering
We have such mechanical metaphors these days, or electronic ones, as if we were machines with on, off, and pause buttons—and fast forward. Might we find ways to heal our metaphors, our ways of speaking to others and ourselves? Ways to be gentle, organic, soft, wet, flowering?

Please pass it on.

Rock world soft
I don’t have it figured out. None of us do. None of it.
The rock melts. The world flows. Soft becomes rock.
