Day 16: You can keep in touch through small overtures to others

I like that my practice included some way to connect with others. Before posting poems, I often thought about people I cared about, but felt overwhelmed by the idea of trying to stay in touch. This 40 day practice, because I committed to it publicly and shared the results, allowed me to expand relationships that I valued but hadn't managed to make time for. I also even made new "friends" in the process as others shared my poems with people they cared about. Now I value the idea of a "practice" that somehow links the "Practitioner" to others.
