Piece by Piece

I'm busy.
Like an elf before Christmas.
Planning meals, cutting up lots of pieces of paper...thinking about seating arrangements.
I might even be wrapping treats.

This weekend friends are coming with bits and pieces.
Bits of paper. Pieces of themselves.
They have stories to tell.
Important stories.

And it's my honor to welcome them.
To nourish them.
To give them some hours away from the to-dos and the families they nourish.
It's their turn
       to sit with friends
       to share laughter, tales, tears...
       and to
       create.

It's workshop time.
And piece by piece we will preserve the simple moments
        that paint our bigger picture.

Please join me on Friday, 10/19 for Six Word Fridays. We're linking up right here on my blog and this week's prompt is INSTANT. {click on the tab at the top for details!}
