Dear Ones,
In case you missed it, here's a replay of the first ever Resilient Spirit Journal Jumpstart! In this video, I facilitate a 15 minute meditation and writing session, with a writing prompt on the theme of "night." I hope you'll take a few moments and try it out!
I was amazed at how this process still worked for me even when I was leading it for others. So below, I'm daring to share what I wrote during the writing portion, unedited:
The darkness is a place of rest.
It gathers me in,
it holds me close,
it whispers intimacies of
strange kindness.
I hinder myself from
receiving the gifts
it offers,
gifts of wisdom
that cannot be experienced
in sunlight.
The call to justice
which creaks through my bones
the ache which asks for remedy
It will keep me awake
until I answer
It will prod me with dreams or
even nightmares.
Will I listen
or will I turn over and
pretend the dark
does not kiss my neck
with its wishes?
So there it is. That's what came to me during the filming of the video above. I'm sharing it to give you courage to try it out! Who knows what words want to come through you to the page or the screen?
Let them come.
Peace,
Laura
P.S. If you use this video and do the writing prompt, a story you want to share might emerge. It could be the seed of a story to share at the Resilient Spirit Story Circle on the Longest Night, Dec. 21. You can find out more and get your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/210818723477
