And

 Overwhelmed by sensory overload, time to meditate with the one word: ‘and’. ‘and’ affirms the breath, the next breath. ‘and’ enacts relationship. ‘and’ knows of the other.  ‘and’ opens up more possibilities. ‘and’ causes us to ask what more is there that has not already been said, thought, imagined. Breathe in. ‘and’ will be inclusive. ‘and’ questions. ‘and’ is very helpful in any activity involving essaying. Purists complain about [and] at the start of a sentence. Explain then the modernist book-length cantos that open with ‘And’. ‘and’ here implies everything that ever went before, all history and literature. Breathe out.
