24 OCTOBER: A CORD, A RHYTHM, A THREAD
from ODETTE LOVE LETTER · host Odette Press
Imagine this: there is a spotlight on a piece of cord. Cord, like the soft rope used to hang clothing from the line, cord like the line used on boats and sails. Soft, beige. It hangs in the air, frayed on either edge — vignette of shadow surrounds the center of the cord, revealing individual fibers, radial threads fanned out like rays of the sun. Up close, gathered together, they are stronger, woven, held tightly and intertwined, strong in the gathering together. Today's letter is a riff on strength, togetherness, resilience. It touches on writing, music, and walking. What holds you? What moves you?
