Blog Manifesto

Blog Manifesto


This blog is dedicated, as the title would suggest, to the qualities of being young. We are young writers. We are playful and sensitive, fluid and changing. We are unashamed with our art. We wonder at the world, puzzle over the meanings of things and twirl in delight at images and ideas that float by, grabbing at them as they pass. We are curious and constantly inquiring and prying concepts open and taking assumptions apart. We are on the ground, close to the earth. We have bare feet and wiggle our toes into nature. We carry our blankies still and wrap up cozy and comfy with each other and tell ghost stories and shiver at creepy things. We laugh and we cry and we take a lot of naps, drained from our outings and exertions.

We write as gifts to each other, tying them up in ribbon and leaving them around for each other to find, hiding and waiting for the person to wake up and read. Surprise! We weave our stories together to create a bond. One writes, then the other. then another again. We have a shared reality that we have crafted, bit by piece by patch, by string. We write simple, honest authentic things, with our unique voices. You can tell each one of us from the other, without knowing who wrote what. Our voices are clear and gentle and original. We whisper and our personalities roar! Like children, our feelings are strong, our passion for what we write shakes us. We are moved and sometimes left breathless, by our own words or the words of each other. We cannonball into each others spaces. We fall backward into each others writing, like into a pile of leaves or a soft bed. We gobble and grin and ask for more. (footnote kudos to JC)

Then we go to bed, wake up to a new day and do it all over again!

Can you hear me


The day is Thursday…can’t wait to get on lc (live chat)…saves on the finger tips.
Ah, finally, there’s Rosie, JC and Amy. Now all four of us are on live chat chanting our usual. Morning…morning…morning…!
How’s your day…
Do you have to work…
What’s up for the day?...
Wanna play?...
Playing games is so much fun now that we can talk and listen and play all at the same time. Games were fun before but I would miss out on so much cause they all know Reese is not a multi-tasker!
We decide after a few games of pool that we should go and draw. Hey, lets draw with other random players and we can tell each other what we are drawing before it is even drawn and the other players won’t know what’s going on. We can really rack up the points. Winners every time! Hmmm…sounds like fun! So, this is what we did. JC spoke and we raced to see who could type the fastest. Sometimes the word was typed before the drawer drew. Ha ha…funny! Someone typed “hax”….. so the other players caught on. 
Ok….now what should we do…hmmm
Oh well, I guess we just went back to our chat room and talked.
Amy says “brb” Reese says, “poof she’s gone already…she is faster than a speeding bullet”.  All of a sudden in the low pitched southern, Amy says “AH CAN STILL HEAR YOU”!
Oh that was a moment!!!

Then there was Rosie with her mixed signals. JC did <.< which means to look to the left or >.> look to the right. Well, our little miss Rosie said she thought those were ti.ts. (turned sideways)

“ Hi, how are you today”   >.>    <.<   “I’m fine today, thanks”.

She thought they were ti.ts that were talking to each other.

Oh what a good day!
