On Tuesdays, we welcome everyone to share stories. Write your story, share it here, and comment on other people’s writing.
A dear friend, and fellow slicer, recently shared this NPR piece with me: Ada Limón reflects on her tenure as the poet laureate and bringing us back to wonder. Ada reminds us of the power of poetry and wonder. Maybe it will give you the inspiration you need to write today.
