hello! for some reason, the thought of asking about web weaving prompts completely escaped me until now. you're the first I am asking! hello!!!

I don't see this sort of web weaving subject around, so is it possible to make one about an abandoned AI? (the fictional, sapient kind, not the ones irl lol)

like an AI, with a sapient mind, just..... alone. lost between the lines of code in cyberspace, wishing for someone like them to destroy their isolation

How can you mourn for something not living?

I hope this fills the prompt well! It was very interesting to do. I'm sorry it took so long! ;^^

Perhaps a sacred moment is a photograph you look at over and over again, the one of you and her, hands lightly clasped like you did before prayer became necessary, the one with the sinking cathedral in Mexico City rising up behind you and a limping man frozen in time to the right of you, the moment when she touched your bare arm for the first time, her fingers like cool flashes of heaven.

National Poetry Month! One of my favorite poets, Naomi Shihab Nye, has been a life-line, heart-thread, influence in my life and my art. I was first introduced to her work by Sue Reuling Furness when she mentored me in Poetic Therapy training. At the time, I was also majoring in fiction writing and poetry in undergrad and minoring in psychology. And, if I'm transparent, I was also recovering, in my body, in my heart, after fleeing a marriage and suffering one medical crisis after another. Between 2011 and 2014 I endured seven surgeries, including full cervical spinal fusion with bone grafts and a full hysterectomy. Throughout, I kept reading Naomi's work, sitting with it, as if I could soak her words into me, heal me. Her tender approach has stayed with me over the years. And, this year, while at AWP Community of Writers 2023, I was able to attend her event, honoring her life work and her continuous theme: Kindness. I'll post a link to her poem, "Kindness," in the comments. Oh...and while at AWP, while attending Naomi's event and my heart filling, my body being nourished with words and warmth, I was in the greatest company: Lee Herrick, my mentor, my friend, and another extraordinary human who has (and does) influence my life with his incredible work, his art, his wisdom.

"As the child of a Korean adoptee in France, I would like to question the trans-generational impacts of international adoption through the lens of transmission. Materializing the export of children by Korean adoption agencies to western countries, the map plays with the idea of Korean adoptee diaspora as extended family or ancestry".

TOM’s ”Author Highlights” - Lee Herrick

What Is Sacred

By Lee Herrick

I have no idea what priests

dream of on Christmas Eve, what prayer

a crippled dog might whine before the shotgun.

I have no more sense of what is sacred

than a monk might have, sweeping the temple

floor, slow gestures of honor to the left,

the right. Maybe the leaf of grass tells us

what is worthwhile. Maybe it tells us nothing.

Perhaps a sacred moment is a photograph

you look at over and over again, the one

of you and her, hands lightly clasped like you

did before prayer became necessary, the one

with the sinking cathedral in Mexico City rising up

behind you and a limping man frozen in time

to the right of you, the moment when she touched

your bare arm for the first time, her fingers

like cool flashes of heaven.
