Now Now

A blog, like a life, is a funny thing. You never know how it will turn out.  When I started this blog in November 2004 I had no idea where it would go. Now, I don't know where it will go; I know only, to some extent, where it has gone. Lots of poetry has been shared here, more than I'd expected. Even more unexpected than that is the fact that several people, maybe more, have written haiku because of being exposed to it here.

As for friends I've made a few.  I didn't see that coming.

I'm writing in real time.  I don't like doing anything in fake time.

In a few minutes it's time for Vaad, an informal ed program I've been involved in since its start two years ago.  Soon a room full of ninth grade  students will excitedly arrange their chairs into a circle, knowingly, as I entering the room.  Then we'll eat the rice cakes I've brought, as usual, for everyone.  And we'll talk.

That's where I am right now, here.
