Oh, it’s so wonderful to see you here! And thank you for adding that. That’s part of the thing that is so captured me that it’s like this quest and this mystery almost like a party. It makes me so happy. I don’t think my recording was that good But I suppose my way I kind of got into it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your characterization of Philip Graham's distribution experiment is a great way to remind us of the importance of play. I think a lot of people confuse play with competition, which is possibly why 'play' has turned so serious in our culture. The older I get, unencumbered by worry over percentages, the more play I find in my life: Playing for its own sake--or writing for its own sake--is the ultimate reward. One may hope to bring a smile to a stranger's face, but the most important thing is that one smiles oneself. Play should not be associated with grim determination. It should be the happy activity that opens up the imagination.
Lol! Play! "I have a friend who . . . " Yes! Clowning is play. Not performance. There can be established moves the clown plans, but enacting them depends on the clown's play: the state of being in play. Thanks for the love-note!

I think you're being too modest regarding your recording!

And you're a reader who sifts through to find the 1 percent! Whoa!
It is really fascinating to look at all the submissions!!
And the residency is?
It’s something wonderful that I wasn’t picked for that. I didn’t win or wasn’t awarded, but at least I was a finalist and that felt good.
