A quote: “To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.” ~~ William Blake
I’ll start with a story …
***************************
I bring them out each year … I love reading them even as they are written in my heart.
Do you see, dear, that it has started to snow? How lovely the fire and the tree in the window, sparkling with all the ornaments you gifted me over the years.
Years of random notes left on my pillow, cards standing on the kitchen counter. I hold each feeling your hand in them.
Our children know that when I follow, the letters will be by my side forever and I’ll finally stand with you again and recite them all from memory.
***************************
Now, it’s your turn.

I must say, even though I never see many responses to these, I genuinely enjoy them.
However, I wasn’t aware of this site when they first started. Are these a challenge for readers to write a 100-word short story related to the presented quote? I don’t want to overstep.
Now that America has found some semblance of sanity (the election, Daniel Penny’s acquittal, etc.), I look forward to more uplifting material.
