make an encouraging banner

Take a picture of your parents kissing. Write the phone call you wish you could have. Give advice to yourself in the past. Recreate a poster you had as a teenager. Take a picture of strangers holding hands. Ask your family to describe what you do. Write your life story in a day. Photograph a significant outfit. Recreate an object from someone's past. Write down a recent argument. Make an encouraging banner.

my wonderful roommate claire and i have started a summer project. we will be completing a series of assignments from Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher's book Learning To Love You More. i think that it's going to be a really fun, positive thing, and i would encourage everyone who reads this to check it out, too. read, comment, share, contribute your own. get inspired-- it's what all of you do for me.

on a side note, claire has also started a public blog (link on the side), and it feels like the warmth of sunshine and the promise of sunrises and the poignancy of sunsets all at once. her blog has inspired me to write more, and to write better. so hopefully you'll be getting more berlin-esque posts (reference for the five people who read this blog regularly) soon.
