The Saturday Spark
Tell us: In addition to “love and truth,” what’s something you’re made of—something you’re dropping on this globe? CHALLENGE: Dig deep—don’t give the first answer that comes to mind. Or even the second . . .
On a personal note . . .
I’ll be out of studio and largely unplugged between now and March 13. Upon my return, I’ll have a crazy schedule through mid-April. Thanks to my wonderful virtual assistant, Hannah, along with some Rafter volunteers (I see you
and!), Raft publications and events shouldn’t be affected. But I thank you in advance for your patience as you await shipments of packages and replies to your emails.Don’t miss this!
In case you missed it!
Catch up! (event replays)
Next week on The Raft . . .
Poetry Pick-Me-Up (Zoom, Thursday, 12-1PM Central). A casual weekly gathering for poetry-sharing, celebration, and discussion. Hop on the Zoom at this link. Bring a poem you like to read to the group. Or, just come to listen to poems offered by other Rafters and to participate as you’re comfortable in our informal but wholehearted conversation. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter!
Grateful, grateful!
