BodyBlurbs
Body Blurbs capitalizes on this year's festival theme in the playful spirit of Twitter. In 120 characters of hilarious prose or heartbreaking reflection, submit your power-packed personal narrative about the body. Here are two examples:
- I want to dance! (Is someone looking?) I want to sway! (How do I look?) I WANT...but the eyes, they judge. I am still.
- Fast forward. That is to say, fasting advances my spiritual awakening like no tomorrow, making me fully awake to now."
Read more blurbs or post online now and throughout the festival. |
