Gray Matter, Dark Holes
When I learned about our current CiC prompt, my thoughts started racing from one possibility of interpretation to the next. On and on for weeks. Should I go easy and work abstract, maybe look back and pick a point in my life where I changed my mind for better or
On my mind…what could possibly be next?
