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.

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.

Pack for travel.

PROMPT: Hard Work

Daily writing prompt

Hard work makes me feel full of aches and filled with pain. So full. So filled.

The capacity to be perpetually perplexed.

PROMPT: Brands

Daily writing prompt
What brands do you associate with?

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.)
