I Love Silence

Enjoy your reading, and we’ll see you next Sunday for the October recap.

Dear reader,

I hope you are well and in good health. I am writing to you, listening to the rain, and I am surprised by the silence outside. Not a car, not a voice, only the silent night and the whispers of the moon. The curfew between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. feels like a mindfulness meditation session to me. I love silence.

Well, I stop my nocturnal delirium. Deprivation of liberty has never been a good thing. I wonder at what time of the day you read this newsletter. As you know I am writing to you from France, and I try to imagine what you are doing and where you are when you discover the new edition of The Story Box. I’m really curious!

I don’t know if you know this, but Lana Del Rey has published a poetry book. I love her music, and I’m thinking about getting her book. Have you been able to read it? In any case, I liked discovering her writing process.

This week, Alicia Banaszewski was honored in the column. I hope you enjoyed reading the new poems she wrote! They’re all here: Attention vs Affection. Dizziness Cannot Be Remedied by Obsessively Drawing Circles. I am Roasting Root Vegetables.

Starting this Sunday, I am happy to give the pen to Michael Madill, a poet whom I like a lot and who is also a faithful reader of Scribe! Go to the home page of the publication to discover his latest pieces! Maybe you have read his last poem, Appreciation.

I added a new fiction to the fiction page. I escaped by reading it. The Dark Side of the Moon, by Sofia Isabel Kavlin.

As for me, I wrote two poems, Life, and Escape Route. And I told a story about grapefruit that made me want to tell you more stories like that.

Have a nice Sunday! ♥︎
