What might we write if we write this May What might we say if in May we allow ourselves to play We can read about hate and we can write about love So what if just for May we let love have a say What if and maybe then love might stay So I ask just in May will you try and will you play? For when we listen when we ask we might notice What does love say? What if we listen what if we ask even just for today?
And what if.... you find a piece of paper and a pen or you open a note on your phone And what if you write for 5 minutes in English in May If you do that what might happen? If you do that what could happen? What might happen this May? What might happen TODAY?
Here are some questions to get you started. Write whatever comes to mind!
Try writing for 5 minutes. Focus on PROCESS, not result.
If it feels strange or wrong - that’s normal! It may feel weird for the first 3 or 4 times. But little by little, that will change, and it will feel better and better.
See if you can trust the process and let go of the result.
Let the writing take you wherever it wants! Stop when you get tired or bored, and try again tomorrow!
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
What is something you really love?
Maybe it is a song, an artist, a person, a place, a food, or an idea.
Tell me a story about the moment you discovered or fell in love with this thing.
What time of year was it? What smells or sounds were in the air? Where were you? Why were you there? Who were you with? What made it special?
Tomorrow, I will tell you about how I fell in love with OLIVES.
Now I’m on the hook.
That’s how it works! Hope you come along for the ride.
I hope you'll join us as we build this community and as we encourage one another other to use our English - to express our thoughts, and to connect with ourselves and with others.
See you tomorrow!
