So much resonance between this and my other project: the Rocket Ship workshops. There's the excitement of beginning, the lessons that will be learned, and then the hard process of actually seeing it through. A skill, a capacity, that needs cultivation. I love the tenor of the starter kit (funny, compassionate) and think we could use some of that in the Rocket Ship in particular and the world in general. Functioning in chaos, walking on the high log of a ropes course, moving through the unknown . . . we have it in us.
OK, I'm wasting words here when I need them in my novel.
Wish me luck!
Go, Amy, Go! You're an inspiration.

Wow...now that's a goal. Plot, theme? Hmmm...let's see if I can help...most good sailing stories start, "And there I was..."
ReplyDeletethen again, maybe not. ;)
best of luck...and i'd be happy to read!
"When we relate creatively and playfully to our worlds, we minimize the experience of feeling caught in someone else's mechanizations. Playing, creating, we are alive in space and time. Wishes and objects intersect. Whole spectra of feeling replace the sense of futility"
