Descartes was wrong (and superficial at that). Sensory experience comes first. Raw emotion (starting with simple content v not-content) comes second. Thinking is a distant third. We dont know -and probably cant know-all that we know. Descartes should have said ‘i think, therefore i need to look deeper.”

Keep writing. Sooner or later YOU will leak out no matter how much you think.

Hi Rika! Thanks for thinking of me and the invite. Thanks also for sharing the storytelling tips from today's post! I am in India visiting my family right now. Would love to take you up on the walk when I am back in Berkeley. Happy new year!

Feels like ages since my last Sharing is Caring dropped into my inbox - very glad to see it again and to hear from you. Always a joy. Thank you for the Saunders tip - I think I have you to thank for the beautiful A Swim in a Pond in the Rain…Thank you for writing
