Daily writing practice
2022/4/25 #poetry Testing to see if the mud is firm enough to walk on. It squishes out from under my shoe in such a satisfying way. Too soft and too much fun. The consequences and past threats of consequences for engaging with the mud flit through my mind. Do they apply now? Might I bear them even so?
2022/4/24 #poetry Oh, I could get there faster, rolling over the surface literally made for wheels, but the point is to walk. Bilateral stimulation; step, step, step, step; balancing action. Grounding activity. I could get there faster, but the point is to be out for a while. The sun and the air enrich me. New leaves on the trees are so bright. It works, I'm brought back to the moment.
2022/4/23 #poetry Seems like I have forever. At least, in the morning it feels that way. By lunch I might marvel that the time flew by, but I don't yet feel any pressure. Late afternoon is when I start to contemplate if I should get started on one or another of those important tasks, but then, before I know it, it's time for dinner. Now I know, without a doubt, once dinner is through, that nothing will get done if I don't start immediately. Soon enough I find out, I was absolutely right.
2022/4/22 I could start again, but why? I could end up in the same place, or anywhere else, but certainly wouldn't have complete satisfaction by this point. I'd still have problems even if they were different. So I may as well work on the ones I've got.
2022/4/19 #poetry Reaching for what you want can result in you getting it. Disappointment, maybe, but which one should you focus on, really? Thinking about who you are can result in you changing. It can result in you entrenching too, but it's up to you if that happens. Doing what seems right can result in mistakes sometimes, but that's OK. Taking time for what matters can result in fulfillment. Boredom you say? Perhaps boredom & fulfillment go hand in hand.
2022/4/18 #poetry Heavy belly full of food, puts me in a relaxed mood. Just sit and let the clock tick by. I won't get up or even try. Digestion is its own reward, while I'm like this I won't get bored. I may not move but I'm totally fine. There's really nothing on my mind. I won't contemplate another meal, I'm just enjoying how I feel.
2022/4/17 #poetry It wouldn't disappoint me to find out that there wasn't any way to conclude this very thing I'm writing now. Today, you see, I'm just happy to write. Most days I do strive for an outcome. It makes the process more difficult & there's no reason to think that it will produce anything better. Having fun is the real key to getting things to flow. You never know where you'll end up.
