I'm still on my "arts tithe" kick this year (I posted about it), and that has pushed me to discover creations to buy. It takes a part of my income that I am coming to no longer think of as "mine"--which has been an interesting process! Can't quite put it in past tense yet, as I've just left my awful academic position (!), and will be adjusting to the changed income... The "habit" will be tested. Hoping it holds; I'm liking the push.

This is interesting to know: divisive and hindsight. That'll be on my mind. Yes, Dance Me is not an easy read. I tried to leave a lot of white space.
