Starting with a List
by crobertson

When I blog (publish) any pre-writing is done out of my notebook. I never post the pre-writing/process. Today, this changes. Out of my notebook…
-blue, looks like a scarf
-bald head
-cancer?
-at Target, in the cafeteria
-cart full, over flowing
-children’s clothing: boy & girls
-pale skin
-snacks, food, beauty supplies
-is she a grandma?
-is she buying for sick children?
-is she buying to donate?
-empathy, sadness, i remember
-pain
-not bitter, kind, laughing with the clerk
-alone
-alone!
-do I ask if she needs help
-looking at Braeden
-eyes watering
-what is her story, what happened?
-colorful lacy v-neck shirt
-large scar on her chest
-feeling of guilt

SO powerful, Crystal!! So powerful and so clever to pluck your thoughts right out of your notebook and share them with us. The word “alone” used twice really made me pause. Possibly your intention. Definitely the result.
