The #LinePerDay Challenge

August 16, 2018

A couple of years ago I challenged myself to take a photo each day and write a line or two inspired by that photo. It was just a little writing exercise that I loved doing, but it fell to the wayside as some life changes took hold. I called it the #LinePerDay challenge and I’m bringing it back. I’ll only be hosting it over on on Instagram feed (@iambernardjohn). Follow along, join in, or even send me some photos of your own that I can take some inspiration from and potentially post.

“A Calculator at the Bottom of a Lake“ 1,937 “A Calculator at the Bottom of a Lake“ 1,937 feet and we’re counting miles like stars with satellite chasers. I can see it from here. I can see it past the time zones and street signs that we’ve tallied with flickers of a candle, A candle we left burning while we took laps over the Atlantic before we finally, unwillingly blew it out. You walked it once, because once was enough. You drew “fin.” in the sand and my chest screamed at the rest of my body until I broke. It took me 267 days of trying to trace your three letters, Poorly. I’m 267 days late and 98 miles away while I hold your hand as you sleep, Thinking of all the times I came home to a candle burning, And a promise dancing in the flames.
