Write Anyway

It may seem like a lot, pairing the subjects of life and death together like I have. They’re such huge subjects. I could have dedicated one week to life and one week to death.

However, while that does work, I think the contemplation of both subjects takes on new levels and meanings when you pair them together. They’re polar opposites to some people and yet, to others, they’re nothing of the sort.

And so I’ve paired them together for this week’s contemplation in the hope that you’ll garner more inspiration and deep thinking that way. It’s all well and fine to contemplate the light, but when you’re also thinking about the darkness, new qualities arise.

What does life mean to you? Is there a difference between life and living? Have you lived a full life? Could you define your life in a single word? A song? A poem?

What does death mean to you? Do you believe in life after death? Reincarnation? Something different? Is death the end or something different? How would you prefer to die?

Remember, to help clear your mind before you start writing, take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sound of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Let the noises and worries of the day fade for a few moments while you focus only on breathing.

After you are calm, think about your experiences and start writing.

Wishing you heaps of creativity, a generous muse and heaps of time to write. Feel free to check in here with your progress for the day/week/month/etc.
