The One Inch Picture Frame

A writing dare

Photo by Gaspar Uhas on Unsplash

What do you see when you look through a one-inch picture frame? It is just a tiny snippet of life, and the world that we see.

I was tagged in this challenge by Sheri Jacobs to describe what you can see through a 1-inch picture frame. A short, descriptive essay.

My 5-year-old daughter has decided that she likes to dab. I look up from the words on my computer screen to see what she wants to show me.

She is jumping up and down on the sofa bed, covered in a soft, pink blanket. “Look at the T-form dab, mom.” She says. I watch her, as she dabs. Then, she wants to do a jump dab. And a roll dab. And a flying-through-the-air dab.

I watch her small, agile body going through all these wild, flying movements, then landing again softly on the pink blanket.

She is oblivious to anything other than her own fun, and I think to myself that as adults too often we lose out on the fun in our own lives, by not prioritizing the things that are important to us.

Who else wants to make a 1-inch picture frame today? I would like to tag Megan Llorente, Teresa Morillas, Kylie van Gelder, Dawn Smiles, Susie Pinon, Alessia May, The Sober Vegan Yogi, Art Bram and Scot Butwell.
