Tuesday Tidbit: “Catch it before it is gone”

“Can we listen to ourselves

in the silence?

Can we sit and wait

for the whispers of our souls

to come creeping, slowly, falteringly,

letter by letter, through our pens?

Can we allow our truest selves

to tell their stories

through the gateway of broken language…?

Catch it before it is gone,

capture it in a jumble of letters….”

Edith Ó Nualláin

So there you have it, your 15 seconds of inspiration,
