I’m not sure what happened with yesterday’s ChipIn button–somewhere along the way the tally counter broke. Together, along with a few other kindred communities, we raised the money to finish the Little House that Love Built in less than 24 hours.
I wrote you a story in thanks (no editing, no frills). I was so inspired by the opportunity to give Esteria her windows to the world, together. This is not the kind of thing I usually post on the blog. I guess it’s just a gift, back to you–a community weaving a new future with your work.
I might call it, “They Gathered”, or “Window to the World”.
You make my dreams come true.
beautiful.
I could see it before me the whole time, so vividly.
thank YOU!
I really have enjoyed visiting your blog, thank you.
Wow, Jen, I actually got chills listening to that! Awesome. I want to come to NYC and hang out , and give you a thank you hug someday! Love the community that is coming together here. I’d love to actually meet each and every one of you(us).
you’re right that you’ve given a gift back. thank you. this was so beautiful. i closed my eyes and let the busy bees out so your soothing voice would have space to tell it’s story. it was more than worth the few minutes without those bees.
I have no problem calling this poetry, no matter how you situate it on the page.
thanks for this, i love it and will listen to it over and over.
