Terrific words, and the pictures are great - how lovely to see everyone photographed in action both in real life and on Zoom!

I cherish my Friday afternoon (UK time!) writing hour in the company of everyone else in RWC - and if I lived anywhere near Liverpool, NY, I'd be there tooooooo!

It's been a lot of fun both in person and virtual. We are so happy you can join us on Fridays Rebecca. I hope to see you again soon. :) Did you change the clocks yet on your end?

😊 Hoping to make it today - and I'll still be tuning in at 3pm UK time rather than 4pm, because our clocks change overnight on the 30th. After Easter we'll be back in sync and I'll be joining you at the time I'm accustomed to - which as you know is cup-of-tea-o'clock over here! 🤣

"Hands listen"

What a marvelous twist! My hands do listen and they pour out words as yours do. It's not often I wish I lived up north, but reading your posts always makes me long for that kind of community. What a special bond you've built through your generosity and your writing!

Hi Julie 🐝 ! I love that your poem today sums up “how, what, and why” we write. “Hands listen.” And sometimes hold coffee cups and writing instruments.

An observation: in the arc showing your group of en vivo writers, every face wears a warm smile. In part a reflection of community? Here’s a guess: the other woman in the yellow T-shirt is your running, training, racing buddy? I’m sorry I’ve forgotten her name. You’ve shown photos in other posts that bear a strong resemblance to this woman.

I’m looking forward to our next Friday gathering - in community silence. A perfect descriptor. All the best today.

Hi Gary! I love your message today and yes that's Felicia, my running buddy. :) I was so happy she was able to take the day off from work to join us. Have a wonderful day and walk with Izzie. We look forward to seeing you on Friday.
