Mewsings from a Bardic Bird 🌟 Shivering – 04-15-23
💚 🍀 💚
A bit of a game, a puzzle, In Which I take a randomly-chosen word, fly to the Cauldron of Creativity, and bring back a small story of a world that Could Be.
A Land of Wonder, if you will.
A Wonderland.
💚 🍀 💚
Today’s Word: Shivering
Today’s Mewsing: As Rocko, the Bold Circus Kitten, and Cerise, the Creative Crow, continued their walk down the Creative Path, they came across a body sitting shivering beside the Path, knees hunched up with arms wrapped ‘round – the very picture of misery.
“What’s wrong?” the two of them asked as one, causing the figure to look up at them, startled.
“Oh!” the figure beside the Path exclaimed. “I didn’t see you there. I wasn’t expecting anybody.”
“We’re here,” Rocko said. “Why are you sitting there, looking so miserable?”
The figure took a moment, visibly getting themelves back under control, before replying. “I thought I was alone out here,” they said finally. “That nobody was going to know what I was making, why I was making it.” Another moment, then, “But what if they don’t like it? What I’m making? What if… they don’t like me?”
“Then you find the people who will,” Cerise cawed gently. “There’s always Flock out there - for you and your works. Sometimes it takes time to find it. We never know how long.” A gentle wingtip reached out, touched a cheek wet with tears. “But if you don’t go looking, you’ll never find them. If you sit here, stay here, instead of moving on, creating, sharing, doing, they’ll never get the privilege of knowing you or your works.”
“We’re going to be walking a little furrther on, today,” Rocko interjected. “Would you like to walk with us?”
They looked up at that. “Yes,” they said. “Yes, I would. Thank you.”
And together, the three of them walked on down the Creative Path through the Forest of Wonder.

On the Creative Path, there are sometimes twists and turns to take. We found one of those recently. Not a big thing, really. Just a bit better understanding of who we are here to reach.
