An Experiment in Delight
So the blog begins.
A dedication to writing.
30 years in the making.
Here goes. I begin with this. Just going to jump in rather than overthinking a beginning.
I commit to Delight.
I take the risk to delight in.
Even when my world is falling apart.
I take the risk of sharing it.
I was inspired to do this after listening to the This American Life podcast The Show of Delights.
In it, I was introduced to Ross Gay, who wrote a beautiful, simple, super radical book called The Book of Delights, where he spent a year writing about a delight he discovered, encountered, allowed, each day.

Enough of a beginning, I think.
