Faux
This post is formatted to reflect an original journal entry. 1/19/19 A cozily dreary Saturday. Sitting on the floor cushion in my office, where I do all of my writing, listening to Lindsey Buckingham. (Did I mention “I’m So Afraid” was the inspiration for the guitar solo portion of Seven Road?

I’ve gotten in the habit of posting on Instagram once a day (occasionally twice, if inspiration moves me); so, every morning, as I am having coffee, I scroll through old blog posts looking for quotations. This morning, as I predictably scanned for Instagrammable one-liners, I found myself riveted by a discussion that I’d begun, but [...]
