Lara Tupper: Swift Ink Stories

Calling Mary Oliver fans
 

You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

- Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"

April writing prompt
What would it feel like to let your body love what loves, whether this is what you consume (foodstuff, media, etc.), who you interact with or how you spend your time? Freewrite for 10 minutes and see what comes up.

Yours in ink and song,
Lara
