Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses -Joni Mitchell

Daily Practice Inspired by Joni Mitchell

Oh, won't you stay?
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses

-Joni Mitchell

Today’s Practice:

Make it a point, every two weeks or so, to identify a day as a “we are here day,” (or whatever you want to call it).  “We are here” is a day to celebrate and have fun together. Play music, dance, play games, take a hike – whatever brings you a sense of presence, joy and unity. If possible, make it a day where screen-time is minimized, news-watching is off-limits, and work and school tasks are paused.

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Drawing from folk, pop, rock, and jazz, Mitchell’s songs often reflect social and environmental ideals as well as her feelings about romance, confusion, disillusionment, and joy.
