The Void Echoes Between US
Five Minute Friday: Long
Most Fridays, I join an online Christian writing community, Five Minute Friday. We are given a one-word prompt and write – unscripted, unedited, pure free-write – for 5 minutes. Five Minute Friday is a great place to hone my writing practice. It also allows me to be encouraged by other writers as I write. I will set the timer for five minutes and then write. Here we go! I am excited to invite you in, welcome.
The Void Echoes Between Us
My mother and I spoke on the phone
For years it was “Hi” and "Adios"
As our souls leaned closer yet
We lingered in laughter
Stories of the kids
She loved to hear
Phone in hand
Void wide
Silence
In this space I explore other forms of writing and today I lingered in a poem in a nonet structure. It pierced my heart in many ways and gave just the words I needed to process this tiny moment of grief that monumentally undid me.
Gracefully,
What a perfect time to start honing your charcuterie skills! I have just the right thing to help you feel ready and confident while you gather. I created this simple and beautiful charcuterie guide for you. In my opinion it’s cute enough to show and then it would always be available for you! Plus, I am always honored to offer you practical content for purposeful and life giving time around the table.
