It’s Simple. Look up not Down.

Photo by Natalie J. McMillan.

Last week I asked readers to write six-word stories for the feature photo of this post.

The simplicity of capturing a story, thought, feeling, philosophy, or attitude in only six words creates a vision in our minds.

Still, that perspective of that vision may be different to each individual who reads it, even if we’re all looking at the same photograph.


It was a joy reading these inspirational, thoughtful contributions. Thank you all for volunteering your time and writing these autumn stories in six words.
