In reply to BK. yes. all true. I only learned recently that it is called "synesthesia" and as you can probably guess, wasn't wild about having a "diagnosis" for magic!

In reply to Sawnie Morris. I recall your synesthesia (if that's what you'd call it), with numbers when you were a child. They had personalities, if I recall correctly. Vivid.

I just returned from a residency and that courage to write and then how quiet it is to notice what we don’t notice when in a hurry. Love it! Thank you!

When I was little, my parents used to take us on rides at night. I loved peeking in through the windows to see people living lives. This series reminds me of the curiosity of all of that!

In reply to Sawnie Morris. Thank you, Sawnie, and for you too :) What I come away with is not just the beauty of your writing, but amazement in what a wonderful relationship you and your husband must have that you can mark his paintings! lol I'm an artist and I was actually cringing during that whole scene with you considering the magenta ink, then the graphite...

In reply to BK. Thank you for responding, BK. I'm happy to know my synesthesia (if it can be called that) speaks and to such a strong dreamer. Wishing you all happiness, as well as courage, in the new year. ~ Sawnie
