Daze is my first departure. Obviously, days is what is intended, but daze with a z is more descriptive of my usual state of mind, especially when contemplating the creative process or even trying to write. I live in a fog most of the time. I talk about being distracted or being unfocused. It's just my normal daze and disconnect from the world around me. I live most days under a rock of my own creation.
2 is a nod to the text messaging world. It also balances 365. Unlike a lot of people my age, I celebrate the breakdown of spelling and expression. I'm sure people said the same thing about script letters versus HIEROGLYPHS. What is this generation coming to? I understand teachers are having a fit with text messaging symbols turning up in students' work in the classroom. Why? As a Braille reader, I've been dealing with these sorts of symbols for years. LOL is laugh out loud? Of course. GD is good in my reading and K is knowledge. What could be more simple.
Somewhere is not over the rainbow specifically, but it stands for the open-endedness of this journey, this project, its goals and outcomes. In a year's time I will be physically in a new place, livingin a new city, a new apartment, attending a new church, making new friends and spending my time in new activities. I can't imagine where I will be physically, spiritually or creatively in a year's time but I will be somewhere. You will be somewhere, too.
