Story prompt: Write your own story!

I recently published a book, a memoir with stories created on the banks of the James River. I planted seeds with my prayers on the banks of the James River in the patch of dirt I named ‘The Ancestors’ Garden’. 

I’ve been walking and praying the land by the James for all healing for all sentient beings, land and water. While walking and praying the land by the James River healed me!
