This is a blog about words and doing. About moving forward(s). Every day, a word. Maybe images (another form of words). It is about saying yes. For 365 days, or longer. Finding out what is possible. Letting things crash into each other and make their own kind of sense.
Square brackets (around the 'o') indicate something added by someone other than the original speaker, in order to modify or clarify.
