🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Joy

by
Joy
Carl Sandburg
Let a joy keep you.
Reach out your hands
And take it when it runs by,
As the Apache dancer
Clutches his woman.
I have seen them
Live long and laugh loud,
Sent on singing, singing,
Smashed to the heart
Under the ribs
With a terrible love.
Joy always,
Joy everywhere–
Let joy kill you!
Keep away from the little deaths.

👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ Just Do It!

Life calls us to wake up, shake it off, and do something. What is it we are supposed to do? You’ll know what to do. It’s already in your DNA. Get up, get ready, and just do it.

💡 Something to Think About

by

We communicate with other by sharing our stories. When I listen to your story, I validate your experience and life. I grasp the lessons life taught you. Listening to each other’s stories erases biases and builds strong bonds.

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Is It Time To Wrestle with your Creative Muse?

by

“I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. … I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories – science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”

~ Ray Bradbury
