I am using a little book I made with scrap paper, tulip petals, onion skin, and rose leaves to collect words.

I love finding shapes in the random prints.

Some I've outlined, others I've left but imagine what might be there.

There are two purposeful images, the rose leaf and a heart I cut from the onion shell.

The words so far: fragile, complicated, solitude, portal, resilient, resist, empathy, care-giving, gentle, exhaustion, permeable, pollinate, division, mask, vent, wait, community, sing (NPR community choir), migrate, sanctuary, and transform.
