The Sandbox Writing Challenge #44 – Oh Yeah

 

The Sandbox Writing Challenge #44 — Lighting Up Your World, being presented at Impromptu Promptlings, by Lady Calan, asks:

What inspires me?

This might be a repeat of some or all of the last post with this theme.

At first I thought, nothing’s changed. But today I may have come across a thought while getting into the second of two games I play everyday. Both are similar in structure, and keep me busy taking care of the business within the game.

This kind of inspiration spells CHALLENGE, and extends to the various ‘old world’ games – jigsaw puzzles, Crossword Puzzles and other such leisurely past times, from days of yore.

To an extent, it can include projects in ‘real life’ like decorating a room, planning how to move furniture into the house, and where to put it.

I recall when we were moving into Serenity, there was the question of will we be able to fit two houses worth of furniture into one house? As it turned out, I discovered that challenge brought to light a talent I had – sort of more the ability to visualize – to know how to fit things together.

Inspiration also comes in when I’m learning something new. Beginnings not only excite me, but do inspire me. Last year, in January, I began a new endeavor which we all affectionately call blogging. I was psyched for six months, and dug in and devoted myself to the daily routine of tackling prompts every morning. Month after month, I was manifesting all over the place. Magician Me…

He’s always inspires me.

Which is another thing that fits this bill.

Mornings inspire me. Fresh new days, beginning again, new things to tinker with, new toys, in a sense to play with. New levels of living, evolving, are the result of all this inspiration. Being successful at something propells me toward doing more: ‘the more you do, the more you can do,’ or somthing like that.

The Sandbox Writing Challenge #43 – The WHOLE Truth And Nothing But…

In the Sandbox, this week, presented by Lady Calen, over at Impromptu Promptlings, we’re talking about what makes us feel WHOLE.

That’s a good question. But first, I’d have to explore what being WHOLE means. What are the ingredients for being whole?

I thought of two other words which might begin to explain what I think this question really speaks to. Balance first came to mind. When I am (or even just feel) balanced, that means everything is in its place; everything is working, together. There is synchronized motion and being.

Centered is the other word, which may or may not be the same as balanced. I just went to thesaurus dot com and they are not synonyms of each other. But they also don’t actually describe – according to ‘webster’ – the sense in which I’m using them.

When things are balanced in my life, it looks like this: everything is working together, all aspects are equal, nothing is out of place. Now this means squat without knowing that I’m not talking, for the most part, about the physical only. Feeling whole, being balanced, and centered, are abstract on a bigger scale. It is more about how I feel mentally.

There is a Tarot card in a deck I use (my ME deck) called The Wheel:

This depicts the sense of wholeness I associate with the question. The hub is when I’m centered. The ever changing seasons is life, external, as well as internal.

The idea of The Wheel is that there are ups and downs in living. Being able to experience a feeling – whether negative or positive – acknowledge it, accept it but then release it to allow the continuous flow of life and not get into a ‘log jam’ is the goal. It is an ongoing goal in my Earth Walk. When I am balanced, centered, WHOLE, I’ve got, and am experiencing the world; the entirety of living.

Of course, the reality is, I’m always WHOLE, I just don’t know it. It’s all there, all the time. It’s about the awareness of that fact. It has been thus always.
