Paper Clip Protest

I have recently become aware of a revival of the idea of wearing a paperclip on your lapel to signify your resistance to the meanness that is happening in the world. It's a quiet type of protest -- no shouting, no sign waving, no marching. Just the simple act of wearing a paper clip on your collar or lapel. If someone asks about it, this gives you the opportunity to explain the protest and to proclaim your support of a quiet, civilized society. Nothing more. I hope you'll consider it!

On another note completely, I want to let you know that I have begun hosting an online writing circle. The next one begins on Friday Oct. 3. The information is below. Please email me if you'd like to join in the fun. Fondly, Penny

Words and Spirit;

Writing as Spiritual Practice

with Penny Hackett-Evans

five Friday mornings in October (3, 10, 17, 24, 31)

9:30 – 11:00 am Pacific standard time

We will gather once a week for five weeks to explore together the idea of using our writing as a way of allowing space for Spirit to show up in our life.  I will bring writing prompts, poems to respond to, some simple combining of art and writing.  All experience levels welcome.  There is no fee for the group.  Just bring your willingness to use writing to explore your life.   We will meet on Zoom. 

What I bring to this gathering is an openness to exploration as well as a commitment to “show up” for a regular practice of writing.  I hope you will join me!    To enroll, e-mail me (Evansph2@gmail.com) indicating your interest and I will put you on the list to receive the Zoom link just before the first class.  I would hope for a commitment to attend all five sessions, but knowing that life is flexible, I can be too!  Looking forward to it!
