Kaleidoscope. Submission deadline: March 1, 2012
Issue 65 of Kaleidoscope will focus on “Appreciating Small/Simple Moments in Life.” In the midst of our daily routines there can be moments in which a small kindness, or the simple gesture of another, can have a great impact. These can be times of joy experienced in the midst of sadness, or of peace and contentment in the midst of chaos. They can be shared or solitary experiences. They are also those moments that, if we are not paying attention, can slip right past us. Share one or more of those moments with us, in poetry, fiction, or personal essays. www.udsakron.org
