Wool-Gathering in Three Parts or an Affirmation on Day Dreaming

Tina Stewart Brakebill

I

aimless and sleepy
you idle the day away
gathering wool thoughts

II

wool-gathering thoughts
to spin daydreams for blankets
indulging your mind

III

to indulge your mind
and gather woolly respite
will sustain your soul

This 36 word ode to the awesomeness of idle thought is inspired by Sammi’s weekend challenge to share our thoughts on wool-gathering in exactly 36 words and Linda’s SoCS challenge.

And of course no ode to day dreaming would be complete without a shout-out to my favorite day dream believers.

Paris on my Mind

Dreaming of the past

When lanterns blazed the night sky   

And stars sparkled bright

Illuming a boundless hope

For tomorrow’s future

In the midst of all the terrible awful horrible things happening in the good ol’ USA, I have been feeling a bit hopeless. I’ve also been thinking (dreaming) of traveling (escaping). Sadly my budget no longer supports much in the way of travel abroad but Linda’s Just Jot January prompt (Paris), courtesy of Forty and Fantastique fit my mood perfectly. And THEN I saw Helene’s What Do You See photo prompt and it all came together.

So thanks to all. GO! Visit their sites for some great writing and the rules to the games.

Dangerous Dreams

in danger of hope

we resolve not to question

the dream of all dreams

I live in Florida, so if you live in the States (or follow American politics) then you’ll understand my mood this morning. Careening between anger and despair. Trying to find hope by either looking closer to home (I’m proud of my community) or beyond the confines of this ridiculously racist state as a whole. But it’s tough.

Was I stupid to be hopeful?

Thanks to following for their photo and word inspiration even if everything was filtered through my dark mood!
