This is a random post. On love. And writing. And all the things happening in my life right now. Beautiful things. Not so beautiful things. 

Tonight I will be on a stage. On a big stage. The stage in Town Hall in Seattle. The stage where I saw writers like Tom Robbins read. A while ago I couldn't imagine it happening. And now it will. I'm Amanda Palmer's guest on her book tour. For her beautiful book THE ART OF ASKING. "How did that happen?" Many people ask. I think it happened through love. I give away my books for free, which is giving love. Amanda gives away her music for free, which is giving love. Someone noticed, told us about each other. We started talking on Twitter, and yesterday we shared borscht. I cooked it, with love. She ate it, with love. Tonight we will be talking more about it, about what it means to ask, and to be vulnerable, and, underneath it all, to love.

My daughter sent me love yesterday. She animated IRKADURA cover. And it made me cry. Because the song at the end, it stirred memories. It was her showing me that she felt me. What could be more beautiful?
