today I
/
Today I look out the window and see the vast expanse of the ocean as the sun glistens down forming specs of glitter on the crashing waves.
I hear the sound of laughter and deep conversation happening on the front porch and the clinking in the kitchen from someone making themselves a cup of tea.
In a few moments, we will all be gathering in the living room to read poetry, write, share and connect.
But in this moment I pause
I have arrived. Right where I have been dreaming of being. Together with a community of individuals to spend a few days away.
To rest. To retreat. To play. Laugh. Dance. Create. Unravel. And connect.
This dream brewed inside my heart for so long, but today it is no longer a dream but memories being created. joy unfurling and love swirling.
Today I stand in gratitude. For not giving up. For following my heart. Anf for the radiant souls that trusted me and have arrived here.
Today I am blessed.
The above words were written during Monday’s Write Together class inspired by the prompt:
Today I …
Where we looked ahead and wrote from that place as if we were standing in that moment.
Grab a piece of paper and give the prompt a try. Then join us next Monday in class.
I love hanging out on Instagram. Join me over there: @jbelthoff
