Got a private email from Ruth asking me if it would be this Friday, Yes it would be this* Friday March 4*. (16 h Paris time) I hope some of you will write me too, because reariting is best when you are at least 4. (for now there is just Ruth and me)
Reminder: reariting is about thinking and learning, trying to understand, finding links, soft and blind spots, returning and kneading. It always starts somewhere in the middle, and somehow never ends.
