Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #8: Sanctuary
Earlier this week I wrote about how my topics, word choices, and audience has been so different in my Haiku-A-Day challenge this year. (You can read that post here.) In a greatly appreciated comment from my friend Elisabeth, I was reminded how my writer's notebook is where I can retreat. My writer's notebook is where I craft poetry, ask myself the most painful and complex questions, explore my thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
As I continue to try to make sense of some really tough, painful things in my life, writing continues to provide an outlet and healing. I am thankful for notebook writing:
Pen, paper, pages-
my sanctuary housing
most intimate thoughts.
This is perfect in every way. I love sanctuary as a metaphor for a writer's notebook.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elisabeth. My notebook is definitely one of my favorite sanctuaries.
