The Eyes and the POSSIBLE


 

I loved reading Dave Eggers book The Eyes and the Impossible. What a beautiful adventure with one of the most delightful protagonists! His view of the world made me wish I could peer into the minds of the animals I encounter in my own neighborhood. They may feel the same, like this deer in my photo. He seemed more than a little curious about what I was up to as I cooked breakfast that morning.

Perhaps we could all learn more about community and friendship in our interspecies world if we grew eyes for the POSSIBLE.

If you are a repeat visitor to this blog you've probably noticed I haven't posted anything new for quite some time. There is a good reason for this; lately I have been spending much of my creative time writing poetry. Of course, I haven't lost interest in children's literature! That will always remain important to me. But for now, if you are interested in seeing my latest endeavor, please visit my poetry website: https://jeanettewstickelpoetry.com/. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my posts over the years! There may be more to come!
