I did my final project for my junior year English class on the benefits of journaling. Im now 18 years old and living in The Bronx for college, majoring in journalism (or English, I haven't decided!) I look up to you and your writing more than you know. I also love blue (and birds). Please never stop writing!!
I love this so much. I often have the sense that I'm waiting for my life to happen: waiting to publish a book, waiting to have enough money, waiting for the next "big thing." But my husband has to soothe me: this IS our life. It's happening right now, in all the mundane moments. Thank you for sharing, and for the reminder.
Also, weird: I have never heard anyone else talk about Klein Blue. It's my brother's favorite color, also! He and I both had to stand out when we were kids: my favorite color was (and still is) chartreuse, and his (as a 1st grader) was indigo. In art school, it became Klein Blue. So strange, but if I had been asked what color your energy is, Nandi, I would have said KB (or ultramarine)!
This piece reflects a lot of what I'm trying to get better at regarding appreciating life. Im trying to do that through poetry too and I feel like I should ask your favorite poets
These are amazing recs thank you. I only just found Neruda as I'm pretty new to poetry but I bought Love Poems yesterday. I knew asking you was the right move cause something like You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World by Ada Limón sounds just like what I was looking for.
As I'm now I doubt I have anything groundbreaking for you but I loved Andrea Gibson and am working on Mary Oliver now. I think Mary loves nature like you do.
Beautiful words, ideas and images once more. I love reading your work...and yes, you're right we are enough, and each day I need to accept me as I am and everyone as they are (on many days I fail, but I keep trying).
i woke from a dream in which my piano was in tune. Lovely to read your essay; I always enjoy them. I like the way your thoughts flow, and your transitions. Found you through your music, and now finding you through your words... Thank you.

I needed to read this more than you know ❤️

Ada Limon, Louise Gluck, Pablo Neruda are some big faves -- I'd love to get more into reading poetry though! Who are your faves?

Yes! Beautiful.

Thank you so much Binnie. Ah what a lovely dream! May the tune follow you through your waking days 💙
Sounds like the wisdom that comes with aging AND exhaustion :)
