Magic can be found in stolen moments.
[Francesca Lia Block]
I coached alongside a favorite teacher who insisted on taking advantage of golden moments. These were spaces in the day that you could swipe and complete a small task or organize a larger one. Now, more than a decade later, I still think about golden moments.
I wonder if golden moments are stolen moments that contain magic.
And now I’m wondering what stolen moments I can snatch in order to discover magic. Maybe you’ll share some of your stolen moments that have housed magic.

For my April birthday, my cousin enrolled us in a Facebook bookclub. We met the author, Richard Goodman, online last night. It was one of my best birthday presents ever! The book was French Dirt ,and I write about it here as a found poem. https://wordancerblog.com/2022/04/24/april-poem-24-my-garden-of-eden/

My last poem that I wrote for April was inspired by Langston Hughe’s poem – “I, too.” He took his inspiration from Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing.” Comparisons come from different experiences and perspectives. Poetry, to me, is the best way to express these ideas. https://wordancerblog.com/2022/04/30/april-poem-30-and-i-too/
