I blasted through another ten volumes this week, which means I‘m over halfway through revisiting my 130-volume journal! Now it‘s time for a break. I‘ve covered twenty-five volumes since November 23rd and I‘m burnt out on this project.
Tomorrow, THEY burn. I‘d do it tonight, but it‘s late enough I might alarm the neighbours.

I finished reading through another ten volumes of my 25-year daily journal, so I got to have a little fire tonight. I‘ve reached 2004, in which I hit a LOT of weird little personal touchstones.
Gonna see if I can clear volumes 61-70 before I lose the privacy I need for this process. That‘ll take me past halfway through my 130-volume archive.
A few years ago, I started rereading the daily journal I kept for twenty-five years so I could make note of important stuff and then burn each volume. I had a longer-than-anticipated gap in the process, but the conditions are right this week so I‘m back at it. Ten more volumes met their end tonight.
If you‘re all 😱, be assured I don‘t do this lightly. This journal is my mandala: something I had to make but don‘t have to keep forever.
“May this be a place where the laughter of babies is heard, and the gravity of children is answered with loving respect.”

pickAn enjoyable read. What do you do when you can get a chance? Do you let it go or take it? Cute artwork and story.
pickBeautiful illustrations and a great story! A boy has an idea but will everyone like it or will he turn his back on it? Just a simply stunning picture book.
