never more completely myself…
Not saying much here in this space these days, but still writing: in my paper-and-pen journals and on my academic projects…
I never completely forget myself except when I am writing and I am never more completely myself than when I am writing.
-Flannery O’Connor -

I must confess that I’m not feeling very holiday-ish this year. But even so it’s still remarkable to see the kiddos’ enthusiasm for the familiar holiday traditions. They do such a good job of decorating and remembering all of the stories from previous years. :)
