I’m
starting a new adventure. On Fridays at least. I’m linking up with ‘Five Minute
Fridays’ by Lisa-Jo Baker. The rules are simple:
- Check her blog to get the
topic.
- Write for five minutes about
whatever that brings to mind. No editing, just fun.
- Post it!
So I
gave it a go… Today’s word is ‘look’.
(Go)
I look
around me. What do I see? A mess.
But look
closer.
I see a
wooden train track. I see a hat; shoes discarded after a long day; a box of
nappies; my own crafty mess; a story book; crumbs. Lots of crumbs. I see a
lounge that has been bumped from its perfect ‘lined up neatly with the fourth
floor board position’; A crooked rug.
I wish
it were so much neater. The quiet contentment that brings.
Look
again.
A family
lives here. LIVES here. How much better
to be alive than stifled by perfection.
(Stop)
Now, your turn...
