I found it? It found me? We found each other? No matter, we now have each other for the next 365 days (360 to be accurate…I was wordless for five days).
MEANDER
noun – a winding course or bend of a river or road
Last summer, Billy and I had few days in Vermont, just the two of us. We had no real plan. We found ourselves driving unfamiliar roads. We found ourselves alert for places to stop just because. We let the twists and turns of the Vermont roads lead while we discovered.
MEANDER
verb – follow a winding course
My journal pages are filled with line drawings. My line drawings start with seeing. I put my pen ( black ultra fine sharpie) to the paper while my eyes follow the winding course of what I see. I let my eyes and mind lead. When the line stops, I step back to discover what landed on the page.
I wonder what I will discover with my 2020 OLW, meander?
I think this is a great and really brave word. To allow ourselves to meander and embrace what comes our way can be hard and, I imagine, quite exciting. I can’t wait to see where this word takes you in 2020.
