stitch
let me read it to you…
spool of thread
neatly wound waiting
to punch stitches through
the layers
make something of nothing
marry the bits
into one story, one foretelling
snip off just enough
not too long
or you’ll get tangled
needle’s eye a test of steadiness
a little spit a little twist
exhale
that’s how it all begins
The most enjoyable result of trusting this process of writing is learning something new about yourself and developing a healing sense of being fully expressed, a few things most of us lose touch with as we grow into serious adults.
Now you may think you have nothing to write about, but I promise you do. Your whole life is made of stories.
These moments, as ordinary as they may seem, are precious and beautiful when they fall as ink onto paper.
And every word is practice for something deeper - courage, letting go, persistence, acceptance, gratitude.
