Tell me a story
or two or four
press pause for one
and go searching for more
- - - - - - - -
The work is never finished
some consider it a chore
but I enjoy the friends
I meet when I explore
- - - - - - - -
They talk in riddles
laying out their lore
I listen and record
their seashells on my shore
- - - - - - - -
Some are half-strung necklaces
crammed in my back drawer
now and then I’ll fish them out
they remind me how to soar

So good ! The glee on the face in the last picture! 😁👍😂
What are you doing in my head?
Oh, this is too real!
It is hard to stay focused on one thing when there are so many opportunities 💖
lol this is so relatable! I couldn’t say if I love the cartoon or the poem more - both feel so much like my “process,” if you could even call it that! Thanks for sharing J 💕
