I’m holding on to Saturday, y’all. By which I mean, my fingernails are digging into the wood as I try to hang onto this cliff of offering Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 31. Easter is in sight. The end of Lent is coming. (Y’all are saying, she does so much bitching about this offering, she’s not gonna get any credit...

I am offering y’all these Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 24 during the Lenten season. But my Lenten practice is doing one meditative thing a day. Sometimes it’s contemplative writing. Other times not. When I swim, meditation takes care of itself. Close against the wall, I hold my breath and sink. My body is enveloped in water....

Can I suggest that, during this offering of contemplative writing prompts for Lent, if a prompt really doesn’t appeal to you, that might be the one to try? Our writing today at the Writing Room at 100 Men Hall reminded me of this. That which we dread—practicing sentences, switching points of view, examining our verbs—can offer the most enlightenment....

Contemplative Writing Prompts for Lent: 20

I’m pretty sure today’s contemplative writing prompts for Lent: 20 is not actually a contemplative writing prompt at all. It doesn’t shift perspective. It doesn’t ask us to examine the world around us to adjust our seeing. What it does, I guess, is look inward to move outward. Examine self and take our new knowing with us...

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...

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...
