I've been wanting for a long time to start some kind of regular series of Friday open thread posts here on Dreamwidth. The idea is that I would start off each weekly post with a question, and people could interpret said question as they liked in the answers. But I kept forgetting to post prompting questions in a timely manner, another week would pass, and I would put the whole thing off again. But today — when I actually remembered — seems as good a time as any to start.
This is a bit of an experiment for me. I'm going to try it each week during August, and see how it goes.
Today's prompt gives me an opportunity to link to Amal El-Mohtar's (free) newsletter, in which she also posts regular Friday open threads. I'm not imagining I will mirror Amal's questions every week, but
this week's prompt really spoke to me. And it is:
Where is your body and where is your heart? Who or what are you missing, who or what are you rejoicing in the nearness of?( My answer behind the cut )
