we haven’t time

we haven’t time

written by Jana November 29, 2017

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time – like to have a friend takes time.
~Georgia O’Keefe

Nearly every year I resolve to be a better friend.  However, nearly every year I look back and feel that I’ve failed at doing that.

One recent “small” success in that area was when I was traveling last month and managed to visit many friends in many places that I hadn’t seen in awhile, such as Susan, Melinda, Melanie, Sarah, Alison, Vickie, and Courtney.  We hugged, laughed, ate, schemed and talked. It felt so good and indulgent. It was so worth taking the time.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, started a history podcast, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). For my 38th birthday and 25th anniversary of my bone cancer diagnosis, we (meaning me and you) bought legs for a young double-amputee from China. This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
