caremycue replied to the topic Week 52: “I am . . .” in the forum Journal Prompts 8 years, 4 months ago
I am butterflies carried on a warm autumn breeze
I am a proud African man, and the buzzing of bees
I am fuzzy warm peaches and the afternoon sun
And occasionally I am a cinnamon bun
I am a small child, I’m also quite old
I’m the last spark of warmth when life appears cold
I am inspired, empowered, responsible, and free
There is no one who loves…[Read more] -
caremycue started the topic Week 51: “In this sacred space, . . .” in the forum Journal Prompts 8 years, 5 months ago
Who am I? Why am I here? What is it I need to do in order to die complete? Existential questions such as these often plague us at key moments in life, and can threaten the very foundation we have worked so hard to create.
Original insight into the questions we face can help us navigate existential crisis in a healthy way. Through journaling or…[Read more]

caremycue replied to the topic Week 48: “As the wild storm rages on, . . .” in the forum Journal Prompts 8 years, 5 months ago
As the wild storm rages on, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, what is it I will choose? Will I choose to watch tv? Sit quiet in meditation? Shake my fist angrily at those in power? Cry for the children who will never know the miracle of biting into a ripe, wild peach?
As the wild storm rages on, there is no way to know if I or any…[Read more]

caremycue replied to the topic Week 45: “From a space of quiet reflection, I heard twilight whisper, . . .” in the forum Journal Prompts 8 years, 6 months ago
From a space of quiet reflection, I heard twilight whisper stories of valiant heroes with idealistic dreams, who endured great hardship and loss so that a grave injustice could be set right. I also heard stories of altruism gone awry, where nations of innocent people were slain in the name of purity and truth.
There were also long and detailed…[Read more]

From atop this pristine mountain, I have learned that joy is the substratum of heartache and despair, and that angst is a trusty vehicle that can carry us swiftly to the top as soon as we cease trying to escape it. Hold on: it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
From atop this pristine mountain, I know now that the sun shines even in the driving rain a…[Read more]

I was warmed by the thought of a summer breeze hot on the heels of this frigid winter wind, and by the thought of the tropical ocean waves concealed within the nearby icicle. I was warmed by the thought of the life-giving sunlight woven throughout the cotton fibers of this blanket wrapped around me. I was warmed by the thought of the underlying…[Read more]

In the realm of my beloved, a gentle smile transforms each trial into a doorway home. Seeing the ultimate reality of all things, seeing beyond joy and beyond pain, I embody the great calm which precedes attachment.
In the realm of my beloved, there are no unessential ingredients. There is a place and purpose for all things even if I cannot…[Read more]

As this frail shadow fades in the setting sun, I am reminded once more of what was long ago forgotten. It is a realization of such enduring wisdom that all wounds are immediately healed. My lungs swell with the welcoming scent of home, and I float effortlessly unbounded beyond the known. Arms spread as wide as the smile upon my face, my humbled…[Read more]

As I humbly take this single step, I notice the utter perfection of it all. Even the pain, heartache, and longing all arise in service to the greater good, and lead me more deeply into serenity. If this is the pain I am to bear, than I will bear it with grace: not as a martyr, not out of arrogance, but out of sheer gratitude for this experience of…[Read more]

The choices we make in our everyday lives are largely dependent upon our perception of reality. If our perception is skewed, our choices will then also be skewed. When we are confused, journaling can help us clear out useless mind chatter so that we can gain clear insight into the situations we face. When we are clear, journaling can reconnect us…[Read more]

The pulse of the universe coursing through my veins reveals seamless integration. There is no “me” separate from the eternal “I”. Were it not for the birth of the universe, I would have no mirror upon which to contemplate my reflection. Sentient life is as inevitable a product of this universe as an acorn is to the mighty oak. It is importa…[Read more]

A cinnamon leaf dancing freely with the lively autumn breeze reminds me to fully express my bold colors, to dance during transition, and to trust that which I cannot see. In doing so, others are empowered to do the same.
There is a time to hold tight and a time to let go. And while letting go is seen by some as weakness, it is truly just another…[Read more]

Take a moment and look around. What do you see? Does your environment spark a sense of expanse, of wonder, of gratitude, of perfection? How long are you able to drink in your surroundings before you begin choking on a thought that something needs picked up, moved, put away, added, or in other ways transformed?
It is all too easy to focus on…[Read more]
