, notice which lines most speak to you. You could also choose a single word from the poem, or begin writing from an image/memory to spark your writing…

Suggested prompts for this week:

Sparked by Andrea’s poem, write about a time when you made the storm your medicine, or the storm became medicine all on its very own.

Enjoy. And thank you so much for being one of my people.

This Week’s Kindling

“Together, we’ll keep looking for what doesn’t suck.
Together, we’ll keep finding the beauty in all of it.” —Megan Falley

For this week’s kindling, I have to point you to Megan Falley’s words. If this isn’t what love looks like, I don’t know what is.

For those of you who aren’t yet familiar with Meg, she was the wife of the beloved poet Andrea Gibson who so, so sadly died on July 14th. But, thankfully, is so very alive in all who loved this light beam of a human.

I, like millions and millions of others, am absolutely gutted by Andrea’s death. If you are one of those who loved them as much as I did (and still do), I hold out my hand to you.

My gosh, how Meg’s words brought needed comfort & stretched my heart. I had to point you to them.

Here’s to continuing to look for things that don’t suck.
