Rock Friend

Students - When goldenrod blooms in our pasture, I think about back to school time. And here in Western New York, the roadsides are all golden glory right now. Our own college student children headed back to different cities and school and school supplies are on my mind.
Back to school time requires paper and pencils and crayons. But it also requires courage to begin something new. Sometimes a rock in my pocket gives me that kind of courage, and no one needs to know a thing about it.
Have you ever carried a secret lucky charm? Do you know someone who does? Is there an object that gives you strength? If so, you might wish to write about it.
If you wish to share your writing with someone else, go ahead.
If you wish to keep a secret, go ahead.
It's up to you!
I wish everyone going back to school - in whatever form - the joy and courage of new beginnings. We cannot know everything about how things we will go, but we can take care of each other and look for the good where it is and make it where we are able.
Elisabeth is hosting today's Poetry Friday roundup at Unexpected Intersections with an original poem titled "What the Marmot Knows." Please know that all are welcome each Friday as folks share poems, poem books, poetry ideas, and friendship.
