This conversation moved me deeply. The question of “Are you engaging in your own campaign of misery?” stopped me in my tracks.
– “A walk-and-talk is a moveable salon. A small group of invited people walk together for a week, having casual conversations side-by-side during most of the day. In the evening the group sits down to an intense hours-long discussion centered on topics chosen daily by those present. A moderator keeps the conversation on that day’s single topic to sharpen it and make it memorable” How to walk and talk (You can download a PDF)

My doggy ate my essay.
He picked up all my mail.
He cleaned my dirty closet
and dusted with his tail.He straightened out my posters
and swept my wooden floor.
My parents almost fainted
when he fixed my bedroom door.I did not try to stop him.
He made my windows shine.
My room looked like a palace,
and my dresser smelled like pine.He fluffed up every pillow.
He folded all my clothes.
He even cleaned my fish tank
with a toothbrush and a hose.I thought it was amazing
to see him use a broom.
I’m glad he ate my essay
on “How to Clean My Room.
(thank you Ella)
