Overheard

In response to Holly’s most excellent “where is everyone?” post, I decided to stop slacking and post some of my recent pages. :-)

This page is sort of in response to the “Overheard” prompt, although I didn’t follow through 100%—still waiting to overhear some tidbit that I can spin a story around. But the prompt made me pay more attention to conversations of the voice and email variety.

The quote here is from an email sent by a new friend who lives in New Orleans, about what she’s learned after surviving Hurricane Katrina: “Rebirth and rebirth and around again and suddenly the word auspicious took on a fluidity and certainty that I released myself to and allowed to happen without wondering why.” Love this quote—what a great lesson.
