Does Two Doubles Make A Quadruple?
This week's Creativity Exchange is a revisitation to the double exchange we tried once before. TheRacket calls it Layer Cake Exchange. I like that. It's where we each create a piece, then respond to that piece (like normal) but then we take that response and treat it like another original, stand-alone submission for exchange. Easy to understand, right?
Below you will get a chance to experience a bit of what we experienced. Go over to TheRacket's page to see the other half and perhaps a clearer explanation of the whole shebang. In both cases, you will see Parts I, II & III of each thread laid out from newest to oldest. Maybe you'll glimpse a theme and find its source. Perhaps not. Either way, please enjoy.

[drinks around a fire]
the warms & the cools
the optimists & the pessimists
the transparents & the opaques
the bitters & the sweets
an improbable cluster of sweat & tears
look closer
you said
as we watched the burning light
& soon i saw
their faces
like mirrors of glass
reflecting its warmth
from one to another
the ice
breaking off
into clinks of laughter
a rabble of impossible diversity
transformed into
a halo of true community
look closer you said
can you see?
