Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, but especially our own and our readers. This week’s Picture it & Write is for you.

Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.

Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

“You can’t be really happy unless you’re unhappy sometimes.” –Delirium

Who knows this better than mothers? To let the giggles reach your heart, to have your children turn to you in times of joy, you must also kiss the tears away. You must work through the “I hate you” that comes with slammed doors.

Love means opening yourself up to pain and heartbreak. It’s calculated vulnerability. You do your best to raise them and someday you have to watch them make their own way in the world.

–Eliabeth Hawthorne

Sometimes I touch the things you used to touch, looking for echoes of your fingers.
– I Wrote This For You

This one is for all you romantics (at least I first thought of the romantic implication of the quote)! I think it’s beautifully bittersweet. Enjoy!

Charlie Cox Runs With Scissors is a play about a man who has just found out he has a terminal illness.  He’s led a boring life as an editor rather than pursuing writing so in his last months he decides to write his memoirs. Characters representing Love and Death fight for his attention once he finds himself at a secluded motel and fill-up station, in love for the first time in his life, trying to make sense of this cruel twist of fate. The entire play was wonderful, but two quotes require special attention.

“I cried not because I was dying, but because of the life I lived.”

“I can’t be dying because I never lived.”
