So many criteria
for a deceptively simple task.
Light weight
. useful
. fun
. full to over-flowing with love
Small tokens are all I can
pack in a bag
Only miniscule metaphors for my
immeasurable gratitude.
What gift is enough?
Oh, what can
I bring?

This spring I’m off to do a couple of writing retreats and visiting friends and family from my times as a exchange student, yay those many years ago. Since I only travel with a carry-on, regardless of the length of the stay, I have limited room for all the gifts I want to bring. >>sigh<< I’m hoping my trip to the Fabric store will meet assorted needs. Wish me luck!

The gift of a poem- framed for a wall?

A nice idea, though frames are heavy and bulky in a carry-on. I’ll be wearing it all on my back, for distances between transit and accommodations.
I like fabric as it squishes into crevices and avoiding polyesters, is quite light.
I have some poetry collections or novellas that are possible, but paper is heavy and has corners!
Your heart and your love! Best gift ever. A friend travelling to me knitted a beanie for me. We camp, it keeps my head warm, and it reminds me of her.
This is very profound. It really touched me. So many thoughts ran though my mind… Truly it’s stunning.
