Howdy Inksters!
Your “COVERED” pieces were so thoughtful! I found myself wanting to know what happens next for the characters in so many of your works. Thank you for poking my imagination!
I can’t think of a way to transition gracefully into this week’s prompt, so hang on tight because we’re gonna take a tight corner here; When I was a child, I read and reread the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are several selections that have stuck with me in such a way that they changed the way I think (hello, becoming a prepper after reading The Long Winter), but one of the strongest impressions formed when I read the part where Pa is building the family a log cabin. Laura runs into the cabin after Pa cuts a door and then as he cuts the one and only window, she describes how “…as Pa cut away the logs to make the window hole in the west wall, chunks of sunshine came in…”
Chunks of sunshine. As someone who struggles to remain joyful through dark winter days, I LOVE chunks of sunshine! Each time I’ve moved to a new home (and apparently I’m a nomad because I’m up to 23 now,) I’ve deemed that home good or bad, largely on the amount and quality of the windows. Windows afford us cool breezes when the house is too stuffy or smells like the dinner you just burned (it definitely wasn’t me this time.) Good windows let us take in the story of our neighborhood as we imagine all sorts of things about the people and their dogs walking by or the squirrels fighting in the trees. And windows, happily, often let chunks of sunshine fall on the floor, brightening each room and bringing soul-sunshine right along with it. I love my windows!
This week, show us all what beauty you see in the windows of your imagination.
Be good, be kind, and be thankful for chunks of sunshine.
Love you all-
