Space for Listening
My Week in Photos .02
A week of on and off rain; of wind storms; of cloudscapes.
A week of little things needing to be contained before they got too big, and of big things needing to take their space, to take form.
A week of volume. Voluminous clouds. Volume down.
Mute.
A week of neither this nor that, but also, both. It is raining and now it is sunny. It is stormy and now it is beautiful.
The orange trees are flowering and they are heavy with fruit.
I am falling and I am held.
I am writing & writing I am. Not.
I am listening.
but/and.
I rest in the silence of gray space.
As I said in last week’s photo journal, my intention with this photography project is to just see where it leads me. I don’t know the theme of the week until I sit down to review the photos. I’m just shooting whatever catches my eye.
My Week in Photos project also serves as a writing prompt. The theme that emerges becomes my prompt for a free write. I’m not editing what I write (which is really hard for me….) but for right now this is what I need to do to refresh my writing.
Thanks for reading Everything Writerly! If you are new here I am Michelle Ciani, a writer living in Rome. I work with women who are bringing their writing dreams to life and also write Letters from Rome here on Substack.
Keep writing, making, feeling, thinking, drawing, walking, painting, loving…..xx,
