On #InternationalWomensDay I think of my mom who survived WWII, married the "enemy," and started a new life in a strange land. Did not know much of her early years until I sat with her to write her memoir. Write the stories! #history #lifewriting

#BookSky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #Booksrme #LifeWriting I believe that while directly opposing evil (as in protesting) is a very good thing in itself, the action that will ultimately be used to effect is to show the results of that evil, for no human can live with the results for long.

The sign read:
"Closed For Repairs".
After years of cranking in perpetual circles,
The motion was no longer fluid. 
The ride would stop with a jerking motion
Then restart with a thrust and lunge forward. 
The joints were eroding, the motor rusted,
The ride was quite simply no longer safe. 
He read the sign twice. 
He gazed up at the wheel. 
He remembered all the rides spanning multiple the decades.
Then, with the first deep breath he had expelled in years,
He uttered softly,
too softly to be audible to passersby,
"That's okay. This change is good. 
Life has spun me in enough circles. 
Time to keep my feet on solid ground."

#LifeWriting I wrote something on personal ineptness, LLMs and Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

#BookSky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #Booksrme #LifeWriting So sad not to recognize the never-ending story for what it is-a brief visit with eternal life. Loving imperfection moves us always forward toward where our intentions take us and strips us bare. Write from that point of view.

#BookSky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #Booksrme #LifeWriting A story: a book with a beginning and an end. What does not have a beginning and an end is an archetype. Only a few writers deal with these characters. Penny, Winspear, and a few other do. Dobbs has no beginning and no end.

This really is another exquisite book from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social ⁦‪‬⁩ — It’s both life in miniature and hugely expansive. “But there’s no preservation without possession”… so many beautiful, thought provoking passages in its pages.

Six European organizations held one joint carnival in Seoul this year.
Last year, they celebrated separately.
When even carnivals start consolidating, you know the world is changing.

Raising Teens Is Sucking the Life Out of Me I laughed off the warnings. Reality hit hard.

My teens are funny, complicated, wonderful humans. ☺️
They’re also draining my soul. 🫩
I wrote about it.
Who can relate?

If you thought Facebook memories from 'way back when' were cringe, try reading long public essays that vehemently state views that no longer resemble the person you are today.

Yikes on several bikes 😬
