YOUR LIFE IS YOUR STORY

Finding Wisdom in the Unexpected 

 As we face the isolation of this pandemic, it is important to rest and enjoy places and moments we might have overlooked before this juncture in our lives. Are you spending time in your garden with plants and trees? Are you enjoying your pet dog or cat? Are you singing or painting or playing the guitar again?  Spend ten or more minutes writing this story. Share the experience and answer these questions:

• What happened?
• What do you remember feeling or thinking about this experience?
• Is there a moment when you were disappointed in you?
• Is there a moment when you came to understand something new?
• What did you learn from this experience? Or your dog? Or tree? Etc.

If one of these questions, leads to a deeper exploration, follow your words. Write on. When you finish, leave the writing. Come back to it later and ask yourself: what have I discovered in this writing?
