A Poetic Travelogue: Precious Summer Memories from Utrecht
Manage episode 439301961 series 3479974
This is my poetic ode to Utrecht and the Netherlands, a travelogue of sorts that offers musings, observations, and experiences from my two-week vacation. Yes, we saw the sights – the Kasteel de Haar in Utrecht, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Dom Tower, and the canals. But we also made connections with kind souls, curious passersby, and clergymen. We felt touched by this trip, and seen and heard. How many times can you say that?
Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.

Journal Prompts:
1) Write about a summer experience that made you rethink an old belief or thought. What made you think “I hadn’t thought about things that way before.”
2) Make a list of 10 of your favorite summer things, people, or places. As you make the list feel gratitude for each one.
3) Look at a photo taken over the summer and write about it. How did you feel? Who were you with, and what’s most memorable about that experience?
