The Question

Certain things are so exciting that I get hyper. For example, seeing my friends. Coming to Mouth to Hand is thrilling. Being in poetry is my favorite time of the week. Most exciting of all is writing with Judy.  Certainly it still astounds me that I can do this. No way could I have controlled my hand before M2H.

Let me say that still puzzles me. I could not get to the letters I needed to talk until Judy. WTF is with that? It was crazy. It made me believe in magic because she waved her magic letterboard and holy shit! I could spell! You all should have seen it…it was insane! 

So what the hell happened from one second to the next? Why I could suddenly spell is a mystery. But I think it’s important that we figure it out because if we knew the magic that Judy has, we could bottle it up, and all of us could spell with anyone. 

I still can’t talk to my Mom, for example. I am particularly invested in this question. Clearly there is something about Judy that is different. It has to do with how regulated we get when we spell with her, I think. My mind and body calm down when I am with her. So that’s what researchers need to study.

That question needs answering.
