Margot Kahn truly lives out the ethos of beginner’s mind in her writing and her life (she opened a bakery! she hosts a podcast about ferries with her son!) Read on & channel some of that potent beginner’s mind energy for yourself.🌲 emilymohnslate.substack.com/p/i-have-time

"I have time"

baker, poet, and biographer Margot Kahn on getting over self-consciousness to begin again (and again) and the power of reminding yourself that you do have time 🌲

...we dream in the pool of a moon-washed house. There’s Angus cow in me, flat-spired snail, night shark, jaguarundi, giant kelp, ground dove. @williamwoolfitt.bsky.social in @reckoningmag.bsky.social reckoning.press/turquoise-ci...

Amy Stuber's stories are about your neighbors and friends, the people you think you know, and what they are all hiding from you: the truth, which is that we are children and will remain so, that we are performing and we don't know it.

there's a weird lull post book release, when you feel like: did this even happen? anyway, if you're interested in short stories about sad people doing not great things & trying to be happy, consider ordering SAD GROWNUPS: tinyurl.com/2tcjb6cr (Please share this, if you don't mind 💙) #booksky

"... and when I was young I was mildly outrageous, and now I am completely, having seen in my brief forays into predictability that there's no percentage in it. Really, there isn't. I know you hope there is, but really, there isn't." —Irene McKinney, "Legs," from "Have You Had Enough Darkness Yet?"

Legs by Irene McKinney, from "Have You Had Enough Darkeness Yet?" I can prop my legs straight up the wall while I'm lying in bed reading, or I can bend them any which way whenever, although I'm sixty-seven and "suffering" from various conditions and diseases, and I look in the mirror sometimes and say "Hain't you cute" and that's the way it is at this juncture. I have always been careless because I never had anything to lose, no money, no gorgeous looks, no social position, no power, no automatic respect from various possible sources, and when I was young I was mildly outrageous, and now I am completely, having seen in my brief forays into predictability that there's no percentage in it. Really, there isn't. I know you hope there is, but really, there isn't.
