PROMPT: Ideal Life
Daily writing prompt
If you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like?
The implication being that I’m not living it? I’m outraged. Desire for things to be what they aren’t is the mother of all suffering.

Perspective [Lyric Poem]
Perhaps, you cannot change your jail,
And you can't choose the lumps and scars --
No matter how you scream or wail --
But you pick your view through the bars.

PROMPT: Mystery
What should I do?
Does anything matter? If so, how so? If not… just, why?
In short, are all the noble lies we tell more noble than lie?

PROMPT: Moment
Daily writing prompt
What’s a moment you wish you could freeze and live in forever?
This sounds to me like a recipe for how to turn a great moment into Hell. Nothing special survives its moment. I’m with the Buddhists on impermanence — i.e. Everything is impermanent, (and the desire for things to be what they are not is the root of all suffering.)

PROMPT: Risk
When is the last time you took a risk? Getting out of bed. (Every action or enacted decision generates some risk.)
How did it work out? I’m still alive, but the day is still young.

PROMPT: Named
Daily writing prompt
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
A random rock in the riverbed.

PROMPT: Goals
Daily writing prompt
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
In playing football, I find telling linebackers “no” is not beneficial. Words are strange things, at once infinitely powerful or powerless, depending upon context and will.
