Project: Days of Awe

Dear Owls,

I have questions. I walk through my city and I read my poems and I go visit a town where there are churches all over. I am wondering about faith and tone and how one finds God in a new way. And how one thinks about metaphor and feels the joyful noise I’ve heard so much about. When I go running I see people talking in houses and walking to shul and baking bread and carrying their kids. I read my portion everyday and am amazed how it seems to have been written in the weather of this city. I talk to Alicia Jo Rabins about this and other things. I’ve asked if she’ll tweet and hoot with me through these days leading to Yom Kippur. If we can make a kind of music as we think of how the awe builds or doesn’t build.

Listening,

@Gabbat

P. S. Listen to @ohaliciajo & @girlsintrouble to hear what I’m hearing alongside this.
