The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.

More thinking required.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

Not a number and not a competition, and still: well done. Quietly.

I have read your journal from the start this week. You have come a very long way and you are allowed to notice that.
