sidewalk

I’ve been walking around my neighborhood in Pittsburgh again.  The rhythms of the school year bring me back home as a pedestrian.  I notice the return of civic energy after a hot summer - we are knocking on doors, talking to neighbors, reimagining the city blocks person by person, conversation by conversation - in those new relationships where we listen, tell our own stories, and work for change.

    Lovely to see your fine work again, Elizabeth–and to hear of your civic work, which is much needed at the moment!

    A most interesting bit of framing you have done there. And once again you have seen the way abstract and concrete overlap.

    Elizabeth, I clapped my hands with glee this morning on seeing that you have returned to clusterflock.
