Mysteries


Issues of life are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be entered. - Thomas Merton

I wonder about single socks or mittens alone on the sidewalk. What caused the one running shoe to land by itself in the street? Where's its mate? Is someone walking with a needy foot?

When I ran past this scene and it sent ripples through my mind. Did the shoes' occupant fly away? Why did he leave the shoes in this position? Is this a case for CSI or a writer's active imagination?

Creative Write: Enter the mystery and write what happened before this scene. What comes after?
