November 24, 2017. I once worked in project planning, computerized schematics of software development broken into steps performed by multiple groups, overlapped in a what-must-happen-before tapestry that seldom lasted a week without major revision. Life outside IBM is far simpler, but my gears still spin at times, guessing at prerequisites, trying to rationalize delays that go unexplained to those of us outside the realm of decisions. The totally unexpected accelerates those gears! This week has been like that.
Finally, I have in hand the beautiful chapbook from Robert Okaji – ordered months ago anticipating a September publication. Worth the wait, the timing truly is perfect – a long weekend to reread these poems several times in succession. From Every Moment A Second – available from: http://www.FinishingLinePress.com or Amazon.com
Finally, there is electricity in the tiny house my daughter has been building for nearly three years and has just moved into. Powers that be seem to have delivered a persistent young tabby as house-warmer.
A lot to be thankful for this November!

It’s hard shifting gears – lovely poem.

I have great faith in the efficacy of proper sequence, but it eludes me most of the time. 🙂 I am so relieved that the book finally shipped. Let’s hope the next one will go as planned.

“Proper sequence” likely DOES prevail … just we are blind to many factors influencing such! Impish factors seem to pop up out of nowhere! Indra’s Net dynamics. A relief to no longer be charged with plotting “proper sequence” … now I practice patience. (And savor the eventual reward – like your beautiful book.)

I’m working on that patience thing. 🙂
