Sunday thoughts...


We're on the home stretch of this 30-day project, and I'm loving it!

Yesterday's prompts were especially inspiring, hence this post...

The responses are exactly as I wrote them in my journal.


Day 16
Today’s Inspiration:
And don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. 
It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous. 
- Rumi said that.

Today’s Journal Prompts: (do one, some, all, or none, as you wish)
I’m experiencing quiet this way…
It's Saturday morning and I'm the only one awake. I'm writing, reading, pondering. The clock's ticking, the sun's shining - though I still sit in shade. It'll reach me soon enough, and then I'll have to start the day's chores...
What it probably looks like on the outside is…
... calm and tranquil - and a tad boring.
But inside, I am…
... beavering away - my synapses are firing, I'm thinking hard... But my centre is still, yet glowing :-)
When I think of riotous roots, I imagine…
... them pushing down and out, seeking water and nourishment, It's a vital activity - if they don't push, they'll shrivel and die!
There is a quiet ecstasy in…
writing
reading
painting
drawing
creating
sewing
thinking
meditating
praying
Be-ing

Some days, what I write surprises me and I wonder where it came from... my response to the 'When I think of riotous roots' especially!!

I'd love to know your thoughts, insights, especially if you're doing the ROOT project too - do share :-)

  2. I am especially loving your 'Quest Ecstasy' list... In fact, if I'd written mine in list format, we would've shared almost everything on the list!!! Yay for kindred spirits!!! <3

  3. Hi Claire,

    I love everything about this post. Isn't it funny how you can be still physically but your mind is going so quickly!

    Hugs,
