THE POOR.

PROMPT: Guaranteed
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
Cast a magic spell? Everything I know of in this world comes with no such guarantee — at least anything worth one’s time. It’d be better to spend one’s time learning to thrive under uncertainty.
PROMPT: Lost All Possessions
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
I’d like to think that I’d keep on keeping on, and I try to cultivate the mindset to do so, but –having never experienced it — I can’t honestly say.
PROMPT: Out of Place
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
Only when I’m among people.
PROMPT: Without a Computer
Your life without a computer:
what does it look like?
I imagine like it does when I go on long hikes, and have no access to computer or internet. i.e. Mostly blissful with the occasional bleak thought that the world might be ending without one’s awareness.
PROMPT: Pay More Attention
What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
Mental states and somatic & emotional sensations. Sakshi Bhava is good stuff.
PROMPT: #1 Priority
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Pack for travel.
PROMPT: Hard Work
Hard work makes me feel full of aches and filled with pain. So full. So filled.
PROMPT: Trait
What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
The capacity to be perpetually perplexed.
PROMPT: Brands
Unless and until they cut me a check, I have no “association” with any brand.
I believe loyalty to friend, family, and nation can all be great virtues, but loyalty to a corporation is just silly. (They certainly won’t be loyal to you when it conflicts with what is best for the profit margin.)
