Capturing moments and saying them out loud...
There are words that come to my mind as I walk along a sidewalk, a path or driving down the road. Often, the words come as a song starts on the radio and I am drumming the beat on my table.
Other words flow as the everyday life experiences come and go and come again. This could be the sunrise, the wind blowing grass along a road or sudden laugh coming from a joke being told.
Capturing the moment to share with those who come along the way with us is what may be the next important step for me.
The words, once written, feel settled and at home on the page. Even the words that are difficult to say can be found here.
Saying them out loud, telling parts of the story to others as shared lived experiences brings that settled feeling to myself and others. Often, we relax our shoulders and foreheads together.
