writing prompts

Hello Tribe, I thought I would share with you today a recent writing prompt that I completed as my never ending journey at writing better articles & poems. Feel free to try this yourself and let me know if you would like more of these prompts in the future.

ALL CLOCKS SUDDENLY STOP. Write about what happens next.

I was sitting in the lounge chair at home reading my next Sasquatch book when a strange feeling came over me. A stillness enveloped the air and I struggled to swallow my next breath. I looked up at the clock 1:11. My first instinct was to blame it on the Angels. They are probably around me confirming my love to connect with the Sasquatch peoples from the 8th dimension. As I curled into myself more, I began reading again. After what should have been a good 20 minutes of reading, I stretched and looked at time again. 1:11 pm My next thought was oh great the batteries have stopped on the clock again. That was strange since I replaced them a month ago. Blaming the dollar store for inactive batteries I ran to replace them. I grabbed my cell on the way to check the real time and 1:11 pm appeared. What the hell! feeling a little strange I walked room to room looking at the clocks which were yelling it’s 1:11 pm you idiot. Dazed and confused I dropped my cell as it began to vibrate and ding. What the hell was going on? Family & friends began to call me asking, as if I had a connection to the divine, what should we do? I smiled and said “Think of your happiest day and what that would look like. Then dream your most amazing dream” that is what I believe we should do. Allow yourself to be in constant state of happiness and bliss, because a synchronicity like this doesn’t happen every day!

Write On!

Today my writing prompt said “What do you want to be when you get older & why?”

Well, I’m pushing the 60 + age group and I’m still wondering about who I want to be when I get older. That should tell you something about who I am. I believe we are living in a constant state of learning. The key is to stay open and flexible to all life brings towards you, after all there are teachable moments in those times. Who I want to be is a greater, wiser, lovelier, kinder person. I want to be the face of wisdom, the rock of Gibraltar, the mother of compassion. All I have to figure out is when will I recognize that I am old. What is the age or time that speaks STOP your old now! Will it be when my body gives out, when the ambulance is called or when my children no longer come to see me? I really don’t know, but until that time I will continue on my hero’s journey of self discovery and pick the flowers, turn over the rocks, bath in the Lake and close my eyes so my ears can hear the waterfall. I will remember to write again on my 140th birthday and let you know how I made out.

Sincerely,

Jacqueline
