I love the community we are building here. If you enjoy my writing, please consider sharing this post with a friend or on social media. Hi All, When I am stuck for words, I write 11s- a writing exercise that my amazing writing coach Jena Schwartz taught me years ago. I had my weekly writing class yesterday and I had been unable to get any of the thoughts racing in my brain on to the page so I sat down to write ‘11 things I do not understand’. thought I would share both the process and the words with you all in case you might want to write your own 11s…
Stacey, this is stunning. I share your do-not-understands on so many levels. Thank you for writing this. I wish we never had to have any of these thoughts, but you expressed them powerfully.
Thanks for sharing the idea of 11s and for sharing your 11s. I do not understand any of the things that are on your list, and it makes me feel both more and less anxious that someone else doesn't either.

Stacey! This is one reason why I look forward to reading you!! This is a keeper! Thank you for penning these words!!
Beautiful post. As I try to understand the history of the state of Israel/ Palestine, I don’t feel 100% confident in the sources. Still trying.
Thank you
