Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 35
Today’s Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 35 is inspired by Ordinary Time. There’s actually a liturgical period called that. Don’t ask me anything else about it. But it’s the in-between times. The period when no big thing is happening, liturgically. That we honor it with its own name and recognition satisfies my soul. Today, this Tuesday of Holy Week, when so much is about to happen but not yet, is surely a time to pause for the ordinary.
Today, take your phone or a notepad with you. Throughout the day, note your ordinary times when nothing special is happening. Use only a handful of words (“Washing dishes.” “Waiting for the dog to pee.” “Tugging off my socks.”) At the end of the day, take twenty minutes and rearrange your words into a found poem of your extraordinary ordinary time.
