Readings are inspiring. Tonight, Kendra and Steve (I actually get to call them that if I want) read at the University of Baltimore. Awesome. No. Quieter than that. humbling; not the work - which is rich, generous, not their presence and rich voices, but the resilience, the showing up. That awes me.
I am always uncomfortable in their presence like an add-on guest, stepchild, chipped glass at the table, smeared lipstick (I think they will be surprised). It's okay. I show up anyway. I'm practiced.
I challenge myself: Can I find a place to put it down, a vehicle for the writing, the work, the tencity that Steve and Kendra possess.
