“With all that’s destroyed, look

how the world still yields a golden pear.” This line stands out to me this time around. If I read this poem again tomorrow (and I’ll be sure to!), a different line will strike me. That’s what I love about poetry.

Thanks for the prompt. Challenge accepted!

What a lovely post, Kate! Your words about grief and dealing with horrifying realities while also navigating our day-to-day landed just right tonight. I take pleasure in cooking/baking. When I prepare a meal, I will put on music and I swear that's like 3 hours of therapy right there. I let my hands to the work and completely forget myself. I also can control how often I see my friends and they have been a source of joy and relief these past weeks. How often I join Sustenance workshops and interacting with all sorts of lovely writers there (wink*wink) is also very soul-nourishing. I hope to see you there, soon!
