What's pushing through?  Are you pushing through?  In Holy Week things sometimes seem "all sixes and sevens."  Shall we purpose to take a few minutes with a pencil and think about what our keeping is revealing?  In this week especially, we are reminded that, "always, we begin again."

"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.

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?"

"Then swing your window open,
the one with the fresh air 
and good eastern light,
and watch for wings, edges,
new beginnings."  Monique Duval

That's One Hundred Days of Keeping for this year! Sometime this week let's give ourselves the gift of a block of  time with a pencil and paper to notice what has been seeded.  We may be surprised once we start writing:  How did you fare in your keeping?  How many entries did you make?  Did you establish a keeping cadence?  What do you see about the days you missed? What do you notice about this particular notebook that you hadn't before?  What do you notice about yourself?  Can you point to any emotions or recurring thoughts coming from our practice?  Is there a pattern emerging in the "thoughts that burn?" Is there anything more vital to you since the beginning of this practice? (as in "forms of vitality?") Are you alive to anything new?  Do you have new thoughts about your students or your classroom?  If you like, share below or on Instagram #100daysofkeeping. If you only participated with your desire, why not make some notes about next year!

    "Thus, I propose that the middle of February remind CM admirers
    ​everywhere to prepare to celebrate "the science of relations" with

    ​One Hundred Days of Keeping -- notebooks that is."

    and watch for wings, edges,
