Storyteller: 100 Poem Letters

by Morgan Harper Nichols

It is okay if every weekend does not lead to big moments and campfires and laughter that carries on for hours and hours. Some weekends might be quiet, still, with plenty of room to contemplate. And in that contemplation room, there is room to grow. So hold those weekends dear. Don’t see them as less or as threats to more exciting times. There is beauty and truth even in the seemingly mundane.

Even if the wait carries on another year, I will not get where I am going without first learning to be here.

Traveling the world is not limited to open roads and airport codes. There's a world inside the bounds of books far too often overlooked. Your library card is a passport too.

Do not just wait to be invited to something. Create something. Contribute something. Make something. Do something.

there are people roaming the city who have not been loved in years.

beauty can still be found in the seemingly mundane, and you are still growing, even in subtle change.
