Tiny Artwork
Photo by Amy LV
Students - This morning, I went outside to write. We have had many days of rain in a row, and so it was a treat to sit outside and feel sun on my shoulders. Writing was a little bit tricky because our cats all wanted cuddling, and Pickles kept on rubbing her head against me, begging for attention. I petted her a bit...but then it was back to writing.
When I looked out across the lawn, I saw the spider web that you see above, just twinkling in the morning light. It asked me to write about it, and so I did. As I wrote, I loved the idea of Spider and Dew working together to make something so lovely, a tiny artwork that brightened my day from the very start.
Pay attention to what sits at your feet, flies in your sky, comes across your path. Sometimes it might feel to you as if an idea is saying, "Write about me!" Always listen.
