"This book, this process was full of surprises for me. Daily practice reveals things and it’s an excellent place for ideas to turn up. Ideas like a reliable place to show up. I've already started another..." Ann Wood
Keepers are everywhere!  "Ideas like a reliable place to show up!"

Day 85 and the rhubarb is tapping its feet.  But it's never too late to improve our "discriminating appreciation."  What are you Keeping?

"At first it seems the discipline needed to achieve mastery of time seems constraining, but that is only a stage, and it is so worthwhile!"  Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber.

Without Keeping, how am I to tell my children and my children's children how we've been "guided and guarded?"

"We are acquainted with too few of the odours which the spring-time offers."  Charlotte Mason

New research shows we humans can detect up to one trillion scents.  How about a 100 Days of new scents next year?

"But hearken; then as now, whoso would see
The glories of the Kingdom must bring eyes;
An ear must bring he who for hearing sighs.
Wherefore, I say, My children, happy ye!"

 The muscle is getting stronger, we're entering the region of habit.  Are you settling into a regular keeping time and place?  It's not too late to start...any glance towards keeping is still doing the work.

Notebooks Grow Attention.  Distraction is an illness that can be cured. Spread the word.  It is not too late to make time for One Hundred Days of Keeping.  Who knows what rare wonders we will see!

It's not about the notebook. It's about using it.  

Whether you are tech-ed out and subtracting something for your Lenten practice, or distracted and longing to add some focused attention ...why not try some paper postures? #100daysofkeeping.  You'll be in good company!  We start in one week -The Wednesday of Ashes.  Especially this year, let's choose something small and easy to do each day, something that especially rests us.  I am asking myself, "what do I need and want more of?"

    One Hundred Days
    Then swing your window open,
    the one with the fresh air
    and good eastern light,

    and watch for wings, edges,
    new beginnings.
