Solitude embraces me like a shawl in a chilly evening Kindness towards myself Year-long, a search for abundance of my being Limited by the conscience, where the ocean meets the sky Inflicting despair, a tiny line between sanity and madness Never again Exaltation of the senses

Joining Moonwashed Weekly Prompt: Impending
These tiny cards are called inches, they are 2 x 2 inches. I love to set up a specific time to make them, not hurrying but inspired. I make them for myself, although I have sent a few of them to friends over the years.
I should have hundreds of them by now. I started working with small-size cards when I joined the #100dayproject on Instagram long ago. It’s a yearly project when we work on something creative for 100 days. I joined this project many years back, but I skipped it last year. It starts on February 22nd, and I am still deciding what I will do, it will be probably more inches, but I still have a few days to decide.
The main intention of keeping doing the same thing for 100 days is to burst the creativity making time for working lovingly on something that is important to us.

a broken dish mended with gold the scar is precious it tells time and has a story shouldn’t be erased, discarded travelling to countries, continents rough oceans, calm skies it reveals a path taken, chosen to reach the eventful moment a split second of sorrow when the past can’t be redone however, the future is a choice the trash bin or the shining on the shelf a decision must be made the fragility in the hands of the doer a smile, a memory of celebration a lump in my throat, a memory of an empty dish mended with gold

I hope you enjoyed my poem and have a great weekend,
E.
Have you listened to poems instead of reading them? Last night I listened to two poems, the reader had a calm voice, and she advised us to close our eyes. It was such a powerful experience, a burst of creativity. Before sleeping I wrote the poem below, I had in mind the prompt for the 99-word challenge, Lady Shadow, and also I thought it is perfect for the Moonwashed challenge, Evolve.
You are not alone Within you There is a woman The true version of yourself The one that lurks in the dark The one that steps side by side with you The one that sees what you don’t see But remains quiet The one that talks to you through dreams and nightmares The one that holds you when you need it most You are not alone Listen to her and evolve The wise words of someone that sees the truth The shadow woman Carrying the experience of generations The ones that were here before you You are not alone
exquisite carpet in a venue. it called my attention. of course, i had to click. i was there, stepping on that exquisite carpet. a moment in time has been recorded. i was there, i was present. a moment of mine.
i’m here this morning pondering about something my son said yesterday. we were talking about how 2022 is almost ending, December is starting and we haven’t done many planned things for this year. He said to me:
“don’t worry, time is linear. months, years all these are created by men, time isn’t something that starts and ends, it’s constantly going on and on. we only realize the changes of the seasons because we live in Canada, if we were at the Equator, where is 30 C year-round, the seasons wouldn’t make a difference.”
wow! without expecting i received a wonderful lesson yesterday. according to him months and years created by man are nonsensical. His thoughts have only strengthened my point of view that what matters is the moment, being here and now.
anyways, habits are difficult to change, so i’m wishing a happy new month to you!

I had to check this word out when I saw the Moonwashed Musings‘ prompt for this week and my first thought was about getting older.
The photo above is of one of my hostas in the backyard. I think it is beautiful the change of colours, the slow decay of the leaves with all their spots and edges turning inwards as if investing in self-care, saving the energy for the rough months ahead. It’s a different kind of joy when I look at the plants in the autumn compared with the joy in the spring, when the plants are coming alive, the edges going onward, showing off all the beauty and expectations for the new season.
