This week's inspiration comes from a Ruth Ayres lead in the Choice Literacy Big Fresh weekly newsletter. She writes about times when she and her children "name the sky." It is a lovely piece, and I hope you will take some to read it.
I hope you take some time to observe the sky and write about how you would name it.

As the new day dawns
I reach into my wounded heart,
searching for
the unspoken words of
forgiveness.
My team at school has been going through a difficult time. One day last week, I snapped this picture from our school parking lot and thought about Ruth's writing. With the sun trying to appear from the breaks in the clouds, I knew this sky was named "Forgiveness."
I hope you will join me in naming your sky or writing about the world around you.
I love this one, and I keep thinking about it. I am late to the party and can't link here, but I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging and did write about nature today.
