Cynthia Gregory 5 minutes Writing Exercise PROMPT: Sacred Space
We were all crammed into the small elevator on the way up to the cramped, small office where every cubicle was already occupied. Everyone scrambled for the Board Room each hoping he would be lucky enough to grab one of the limited chairs at the table. I quickly made my way to the employee kitchen.
I set up an impromptu space for myself at one of the two tiny bistro tables that dwarfed in the over-sized kitchen.
“What are you doing?” asked Linda who peaked in as she was rushing to her desk.
I responded with, “I’m making myself some sacred space.”
Looking down at my Starbucks Grande Caramel Macchiato, I pulled out my laptop, a pad of paper, a pencil and pen, my glasses, and the wallet-sized photo from my son’s graduation.
Sitting, I took a deep breath, settled in, and began the Zoom meeting with the Corporate office in Chile.
