Friday Writings #168: “I do not think it means what you think it means”

 

Greetings, poets and storytellers.

How is life in your bit of the world? Around my corner of New York City things are troublesome, frustrating, overwhelming, and many other things that leave body and soul exhausted. Then again, that’s probably mostly me. But you know how these things go… When our personal lives get rough, the whole world becomes sandpaper. I’m hoping for gentler things for me (and for you).

While we wait for gentle and soft to join the party, let us dance right into today’s optional prompt: where everyone is invited to find inspiration in misunderstood words or misconceptions.

Add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant, por favor. 369 words maximum (excluding title). You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose, write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other writers. Share your thoughts on their thoughts.

next week, you’re invited to write a reply to something someone else wrote.

  1. Magaly , those of us who value democracy, the rule of law and freedom share your feelings. It is not just you...it is all of us all over the world. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.

  2. It most definitely is not only you. Much of the world feels in disarray. But when dealing with health and/or other personal challenges, the sandpaper gets a little rougher. I wish you well.
