Storyteller: 100 Poem Letters

by Morgan Harper Nichols

There is more to you than yesterday.

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.

Keep planting, sowing, living, and knowing beautiful things take time… and that’s okay.

I do not know why some plants grow in the sun, and some in the shadows but I do know they still grow.

Why do we love the open road, yet simultaneously fear the unknown? Perhaps it is because the journey not yet taken makes the heart a little worried, but at the same exact time, we know we need it. We know there is only so far we can go unless we are willing to faithfully face what we do not yet know.

I hope you will wake up tomorrow morning and unwrap each breath like the gift it is, and let no amount of worry take one breath away.

Writing is a chance to speak to those who don’t feel spoken to, and put into words what the readers thought they were alone in thinking about. Morgan Harper Nichols
