Update (spoken blog post)

Show Notes
Instead of writing today, I recorded a spoken post. I was too tired to type, and my words flowed better this way. If you’d rather read than listen, here are the main points:

Back to school on Monday → I feel lucky every day to love my job as a preschool teacher. It’s tiring, but worth it.

Had a very touching comment on SoundCloud:
About my spoken piece Threads (collaboration with Daniel Cavanagh / Weather Systems).

The listener said my words and voice had a healing impact.

I usually feel insecure about my accent and flaws in English, so this praise meant a lot.

At first I wanted to give all credit to the music, but he insisted it was me. That touched me deeply.

Next Sunday my new book The August Current will be published.

Ebook already on Amazon, pre-orders for the print edition are open worldwide.

Written in one sleepless week, entirely handwritten before being typed.

Raw, unpolished, authentic, one of my most special collections.

I don’t mind if 20 or 100 people buy it – I just want the poems out there, to maybe touch someone the way that SoundCloud listener was touched.

For now: late lunch, music as always, and seeing what the rest of the day brings.

Friday → the usual Friday 5 post will be up

Threads on SoundCloud

Thank you if you listened. I added the SoundCloud link to the song THREADS for Weather Systems’s profile. It’s on my profile too, but the comment that led to the mentioned exchange can be found here.

Thank you
