Tis time for another #writingprompt, & we’re #Writing Together about #loss…

“What is grief if not #love persevering.” — Vision, #Wandavision

Is #grief a price worth paying, does love sufficiently mitigate that #pain? We carry our loved ones with us, & those we #remember are never gone.

#write 💔✨❤️‍🩹
A textured gray background features a quotation in a typewriter-style font. The quote reads: " ... If we love, we grieve, that's the deal. That's the pact. Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love and, like love, grief is non-negotiable. Nick Cave" There are green leafy sprigs and two small white flowers arranged decoratively in the bottom left corner.

Tis time; we’re #Writing Together! Our 1st prompt is from a fellow #queer Libra:

“If you’re saying something you know is #true to your #heart, & it’s weighing on you, then you won’t #regret saying it out loud.” — Matt Bernstein, @mattxiv.bsky.social

Start w/a free #write of your heart’s #truth… 💟
An acrostic against a light purple background with the word "WRITE" written vertically in large, black and dark purple letters. Each letter stands for a phrase: "W - Working together," "R - Reaching out," "I - Inspiring others," "T - Touching hearts," "E - Expressing hope." Large quotation marks in dark purple and medium blue accent the background. The image is credited to Dorian Dorey.

My inner child is an outer child:

“Let’s focus at the inner drum, where rhythm aligns with our #heart. The measure of responsibility equals the need for evolution. Just listen for the #innerchild…” —Grigoris Deoudis

A black cat with pale green eyes is sitting in front of vertical blinds, sticking his tongue out slightly. To the right, there is a purr.in.ink cartoon overlaid with Luis Coelho's iconic black cat in a shark suit and the text "Ready to face life." Under that, at the bottom of the photo, a quotation in purple text reads: “Let us liberate ourselves from any form of control… Just listen for the inner child, let it whisper in your ear.” — Grigoris Deoudis

A piece of a #poem to honor #Juneteenth in the continued fight for fairness & #freedom:

“None of us is #free until all of us are free.” — Emma Lazarus, #poet

PS: Tis Bagheera who’s pondering this day with me. 🐈‍⬛

A black cat is lying on a soft, gray surface by a window, gazing outside. The image has a soft, muted tone. Overlaid in the upper left corner is purple text that reads: “If only the world made sense, would I understand then? If only prejudice was gone, would everyone feel accepted? If only hate had no power, would love take over?”

I don’t celebrate #FathersDay w/o #Granddad yet, in anticipation of the (holi)day, a #HealingCircle I belong to asked, “what’s a gift your #father gave you?”

Before reaching equity with Momma
Or recognizing my soul in Grandma
There was you…

A close-up photo of the iron sign that was attached to the cedar tree outside my grandparents' cabin. The iron name holder is designed to look like bark and depicts two pine trees with a buck and doe above the area that holds the letters. It holds white letters that slide into it and spell our family name, Dorey. Text has been digitally added to the photo to turn the family name into an article name, The Dorey Constant: A Father's Day Offering. In the upper left corner, the URL of the publication is written out against a forest green background; Medium.com/@coffeesister

“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” — Angelita Lim

35 years & 1 week ago, I married my best friend; it hasn't been an easy journey but it sure as hell has been the best!

Happy Birthday, Dave! 😘

A close-up of a couple sitting together and leaning their heads toward each other; one is male and a bit closer to the camera, he has a mustache and goatee that is going gray, also wavy brown hair and blue eyes; his partner has purple hair, multiple earrings, an amethyst necklace, and paw heart tattoo on their chest. The background features colorful text and emojis: a purple heart, "D+D=🥰", a blue heart at the top, and "Happy Anniversary❣️" at the bottom.

“What you realize when you’ve lived with a #cat for a long time is that we may think we own them, but that’s not the way it is. They simply allow us the pleasure of their company.”

— Genki Kawamura, ‘If #Cats Disappeared From The World’

photo taken from the perspective of someone in bed of a black cat curled up on their lap looking at them, the cat's paws are curled under in front of him and his tail is wrapped around him with the tip of the tail meeting those paws there in front of the cat and facing his human, the cat is solid black with light green eyes and the bedspread he's laying on is black as well, there's a TV at the foot of the bed with an ambience on the screen of a cozy room with a fire in the hearth, a dog curled up in front of the fireplace, and a cat curled up on the sofa depicted under a night sky visible through the windows

My pleasure! We have at least three things in common: an appreciation for the power of the #moon, an addiction to #books, & fellow accomplices with our #cats in the charade that we're in charge. 🌕📚🐾

“A full #moon was when mysterious things happen & #wishes come true.” ― Shannon A. Thompson, @authorsat.bsky.social

The #FullMoon represents #LettingGo so the first full moon of the #NewYear presents an opportunity… #FreshStarts #NewBeginnings #possibilities 🎊 🎑🥂

photo of an enlarged full moon in the upper right corner against a reddish purple sky with a quotation by author Charmaine J. Forde offset to the left of the moon… "January: A perfect time to start all over again, changing energies & deserting old moods; new beginnings, new attitudes."

While I've not posted enough to warrant replies, you've had some fantastic posts so perhaps our appreciation of each other will start ripples of shared #kindness & interaction!? #onecanhope

PS: Isn't two-thirds of most things bogus? 🤷🏻‍♀️💜💙
photo of a water drop hitting clear water with ripples extending beyond the edges of the image, created by AKintsugiLife.com as notated at the bottom, with a quotation by Scott Adams at the top: Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act is a ripple with no logical end.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth! 🐈‍⬛

“The beauty of Friday the 13th lies in the mysteries it holds. Dive in with an open mind.” — Carl Sagan #quote

My black cat sitting on a box and looking directly into the camera while right beside a sign that shows a black cat doing the same; the sign says Salem sanctuary for black cats, ferals, and familiars. Welcome. Established 1692

“Nonsense wakes up the brain cells & helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day & age. #Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. More than just a matter of laughing; if you see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.” — #DrSeuss #quote
Against a blurred impressionist painting of blue sky over blue water with yellow lights reflecting across it is the Dr. Seuss quotation: How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
