Three Minute Moments from an Introvert
for JK
Three minutes. The time it takes to peer into your soul as the words fly off the page. What you share, how you care, and the stories that make us laugh.
Collections of you from a linguistic snapshot. A picture puzzle of personality enfolds. Piece by piece, story by story...those moments.
I never expected to find a friend or a teacher or a time-traveler, but serendipity surprised. I simply thought I was reading a post.
Now I look forward to our mini-chats and all that I can learn, your comments and encouragements, your insights and advice...they inspire me to become and bloom.
Three minutes wrapped up in a moment with a bow.

A Glimpse
As a child I loved going to the planetarium. I loved it from the beginning until the very end. I hated it to end. I loved taking a journey upwards and being surrounded only by imagination. A beautiful orb where this loud world ended in a dark room and a new one began. A silent awesome and endless floating where you could become one with the stars. And there were no walls, no boundaries, no need for gravity. Just still beauty. And peace. Nothing missing and nothing broken. Like the mystery of childhood with innocence eternally intact. Yet, you don't feel small or fearful. You just feel free.

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.

Lovely.
Oh wow I really liked this. I definitely know what you mean I never expected to find new friends through Vocal but I definitely did.
Awww, this was so sweet and wonderful! I loved it!
Sweet poem!
Dear 'SB' ~ Who me speechless? You honor me. There was once a cook (can't remember his name) that said we will soon have smell-a-vision. I feel we communicate as well as any 'Go-Fish-Schtick' without 'Scent' that could ever be. But, we really should co-write this from your side of the brain/and mine - Great fit - Thank you Shirley, meant a lot!
