I can still be surprised by the odd little way that
things click into place.
The energy in a room full of people
has a sudden visceral shift
you just know
is bigger than any individual.
Suddenly, strangers unite in an
anticipatory inhale
waiting to see what happens next...
Awareness is not always awe inspiring,
but Wonder cannot happen
if you aren't paying attention.
The ones who don't see it
may judge you
for your willingness
to witness
and
celebrate
Wonder.
Let them.
Eventually,
They, too, will discover
We were never strangers.

During the month of October, patrons subscribed at $1 and up received a weekly post containing my daily Inktober doodles. Each doodle is inspired by the single word prompt provided by the Inktober listing. Some of my daily doodles evolve into coloring pages, but I don't commit to doing that with all of them. Patrons can let me know which concepts they'd like to see become coloring pages.
Subscribe at $1 per month and unlock patrons-only content.
If you haven't done so already, it is not too late to comment or send me a message to let me know which ideas you'd like to see as coloring pages.
