Ah, what a difference a day can make in this Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent adventure. I’m KISS today because I swam, and the sun was on my face and, when I turned, coolness swept my shoulders and light played at the bottom of the pool, and I was happy. Take your 20 minutes today and muse. Pick an object within your sight and write...

There comes a time when you don’t want to do this. It rolls up on you and, before you know it, you’re worn out. I think Lent is a time to experience that weariness fully. We are on Day 17 of our Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent, and I am ready for it to be over. I want to move onto the next thing. This posting is no longer new....

I made it back to the pool today. Two bouts of ailments kept me hopping to different doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. They sucked up 20 days of my life, plus recovery between. But, today, finally in the water. Another reason it took me a bit to get back in the groove: I’m going to a new pool. The procedures felt complicated. The...

Voices squiggle like worms visiting, talking worm talk around the neighbor’s pool. * Halos of clouds mimic the trees. We are all reaching toward the sky. * They call it “forest bathing.” We called it tromping through the woods. Vines shoved aside, Leaves crunched. Always the wind held close...

Today’s installment of Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent is a gift my beloved friend who sent me the recording of Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkins Singers. Listen to it for the first 5 minutes of your contemplative writing time today. Listen and feel it. In your chest, and in your heart. Know that it is true. Then pick up your pen...

This offering of Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 14 is a strange undertaking for me. It’s not actually my Lenten practice. This Lent, I’m focusing on doing one meditative thing each day. Yesterday, it was pulling weeds, but, as I pull, I can’t let my mind wander into its normal territory. I have to be present as I yank...

While Lent goes on, so do other happenings. This gives us our Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: Leap Day edition. Leap Day is that once in a blue moon (okay, every four years) occurrence. We personally know two folks born on Leap Day (chances are, right?) It’s a wonderful, slippery-slidey day, though I do feel sorry for the three years...
