I love the Oregon Coast. This photo is from my most recent visit. It is often while walking down the beach that my mind travels off on inspirational tangents. I have been thinking a lot in the past year about the reasons that we give after something has happened. Those seeds grew into a poem. This poem, The Reasons, is up on Visual Verse where each month they supply a compelling image and invite writers – published or unpublished – to submit a piece in response. There are so many wonderful writings this month. I encourage you to head over there for some entertaining reading. Consider giving the writing challenge a try next month. Here's the link, Visual Verse
Thank you to Visual Verse for sharing my voice.

I invite you to either dictate them into your phone (I use the notes app to capture words when I am out running) or carry a small pad in your pocket. The words coming to you in this space are a gift for you.
Let me know what you find. I love this process. Be well.

Do you ever take time to write your words down when you are in that quiet space? It is another way to travel.

Wow, Ali. Love this although I feel a bit spooked. ‘Time was running out before the doorway melted.’ It’s a line ai wish I had thought of!
