100 Words: The Moment To Wake Up
Learn to wake up at the beginning of a misstep, on the way to the garden before your words sprout.
Wake up before the trowel digs them into the crooked row, before the watering can pours, before the row is marked with stakes and bright twine.
Wake up, too, prior to your words landing on a staff, before notes form, before they have sound.
Breathe. Pause. There’s no rush.
Where will this song take you-us-them? Where will it travel and how long?
Your song of words, is it life-giving? Is it the sound of nourishing rain, the sun, the moon?

Terri–Another keeper. You do have a way with…………….a lot. Now I;m waiting for the one that tells you what to do after the words/actions have leaped out there!!!!!
Terri Crosby
You made me laugh! Well, as you might imagine I write from personal experience! So what I do is ask the other person if they have an eraser and if they are willing to use it so we can start over with a clean slate. Confession: I did this recently, which was the prompt for this post. Love you, Va!
