THE ROSE – #flashfictionmagic

February 24, 2023 by Sheri

#flashfictionmagic #sheriyutzy

THE ROSE – #flashfictionmagic It glimmered for a moment, like a sunset bursting free of clouds to wink and glow before subsuming once again. The light flickered again, then held steady. The Everrose was blooming, despite all her efforts. It’s deep scarlet petals scattered columns of light across the fields behind her house. Somewhere, she […]

REWIND – #flashfictionmagic They knew the lake was haunted when they dove in. It had been a wholesome sort of day, full of hikes and scorched food and poisonous mushrooms carefully collected. She brought him a mountain laurel sprig, and he gave her a mossy rock. They were so happy. And then they found the […]

A BROKEN PROMISE – #flashfictionmagic

#flashfictionmagic #sheriyutzy

A BROKEN PROMISE – #flashfictionmagic She hit the alley floor with a grunt, rolling swiftly to rise. Her blades felt warm and sure in her hands, the crisp fall air sweeping her mind free of morning lethargy. Gaining her feet, she spun to meet his sword. Metal clashing rang against the walls. She pushed his […]

CLEAR SKIES – #flashfictionmagic

#flashfictionmagic #sheriyutzy

CLEAR SKIES – #flashfictionmagic They told me to wait for clear skies, but the need to escape swelled in me, choking off my breath. Much like the mist curled around the window of my tower, digging its fingers into the casements. I flung the glass wide and stepped onto the narrow ledge outside, letting the […]

I am still alive here, just living the garden life I am still alive here, just living the garden life.🌿
I came down with social fatigue last weekend (that’s what I’m calling it) and the remedy seems to be gardening.
It was lovely to come home from my trip and find a raised bed full of spinach and radishes (and some other things I don’t recognize). Today I planted tomatoes.
I’ll return to my regular posting when my well is full. 
🌿I hope you all have a lovely week!🌿

Recommend a book! When I first read this little b Recommend a book!

When I first read this little book soon after I was married, I was thoroughly startled.
It’s that kind of book.
I’ve never read a book that made me more thrilled about getting older. More hopeful about finding simplicity.
I reread it every time I go through a life change or feel off kilter and out of harmony with myself.
Each chapter holds deep insight about finding focus, relaxing into relationships, resting in the ebb and flow of life.
She shows so clearly that it’s not necessary to leave everything behind to find simplicity. It is possible to let simplicity come and go and let its effects remain, even with households to run, children to care for, or jobs to manage.
Hopeful possibility is the phrase that lingers in my mind.

Now it’s your turn. What inspiring book do you recommend I read next?

Thinking back on the beautiful white daffodils of Thinking back on the beautiful white daffodils of early spring…
The colors of the earth deepen and grow more vibrant as time goes on, until they rest again beneath the stark white and black of winter.

What’s your favorite season? I really can’t choose.🌿

🌿 I’ve been told many times To be afraid for 🌿
I’ve been told many times
To be afraid for my children
That I will regret not holding them tighter.
It’s as if fear is a currency, and if I don’t have enough, I haven’t earned motherhood.
I will never accept this,
for Jesus has taken my fear.
He is enough.

“Fear not.”
-Jesus.
I spent the evening following these two along the river bank, finding all the ant hills and burrows and mushrooms. No wonder Jesus cares for these, I thought. They are the best at finding all the magical good in the world.
