Grateful Canyon: Angela Townsend

There are advantages to being an anxious turnip. You roll across the earth aware of terrors that never came. They did happen, under your skin. They stayed there and returned to the ground. They composted into tomorrow, and tomorrow came.

I hope he remembers (Patreon sample)

I have no idea how much he’ll use this journal or if it will be a passing fancy, forgotten along with a stream of other treasures he no longer cares about. But I hope he remembers this part—our hands together, creating beauty out of thin air. I hope he learns that this journal can be one of his safe spaces, a place to pour his hopes and dreams and worries. Somewhere he can find himself in quiet moments of creative exploration.

Detours: Cathy Allman

There is chatter in my mind along
my route although I drive alone.
I pass familiar landmarks
alone but in conversation
with the woman I was another
time on this road.

Uncle Ray: Hannah Jane Weber

the adults speak of Uncle Ray’s life in long, mournful sentences
while I pluck tufts of feathers from the green brocade
and blow them like dandelion seeds

but my wishes do not bring him back

Redshift 2020: Serena Eve Richardson

My daughter unwraps a toy ambulance.
It takes two AA batteries, lights
up and sounds a siren. The truck gets tucked
into bed with my child later that night.

Lightning The Way: Betsy Martin

At the pond the wind
makes gray goosebumps
that skim the skin of the water.

Art journal page: from disaster to delight

I believe that all art-making (especially art journaling) is a journey. A long, winding path, leading us deeper into our own truth. There is no wrong way to go. If you feel lost, you just haven’t gone far enough yet.

Unripe Plums: A.E. Schulz

Not the black
of the ripe plums with the honey flesh that I loved
to eat in the summer, always remembering
how the juice could drip onto the pages of a book
if I wasn’t careful.
