Space to Dream: Haiku for Hope

4/4/2019

7 Comments

 
Happy Poetry Friday! Thank you for visiting the ridge. Be sure to stop by Karen's space HERE for more of the round up!

As I continue to embrace the power of hope, I also remind myself of my dreams and vision for the future. It's important for me to lean into these thoughts and reflections. I invite you to think about your hopes and aspirations as well. Wherever they may lead, dreams and hopes are always a path worth following.

Invitation to Write:

Dreams and wishes make great incentives to write. What are some of the things you dream of? Find some time throughout the coming weeks to write about your dreams and hopes. Sometimes, the simple act of capturing them in words can help make them come true.

In our busy, busy lives, it is good to find the space to dream; "moon in your eyes" certainly is me, Kiesha!

I've been pondering a personal "dream" ... and facing the work that lies ahead in its fulfillment... Thanks for encouraging me to remember the moon and stardust.

Oh, I've been so busy these days I've let my dreams slip down my list. Spring Break and then Summer Break is coming...that time I can re-connect with dreams. I love this reminder though. Just look up....it's a wonderful and simple way to break the intensity of the day.

Love this so much. How can we be made of the same stuff as stars, and not dream to shine?

    Welcome! I'm Kiesha Shepard, and I have a love for writing and the teaching of writing. Whispers From the Ridge is a place where I can share my words and ideas for teaching writing. It's also a place for you to find inspiration for writing the words inside of you. I invite you into my world of writing as I capture the whispers from the ridge.
