Fresh Writing: Jo’s World
Today, due to the back up of pre-pub demands, I call on an old post of Fresh Writing about my sweet young one, Jo. 
She has a new doodle book and shows me as we lay in bed-kissing away another day. The instruction on pg. 21 of the doodle book reads: If you could, what would you choose to erase from your world?
She explains each drawing she's put on the page: "asparagus, spiders, axes (which cut down trees), cigarettes, McDonalds, cars and broken hearts."
As I marvel at this child of mine, just eight years old and full of her wonderous happiness, she continues to doodle new ideas as they come. She adds, "WAR, WEAPONS, knives and stinky socks." "Why do people need weapons, anyway?" she asks. "If you have a problem, you just resolve it!"
What more do I want than this child of mine? What better life than this?
