Inspiration Challenge for the Week of July 7 – Watch for the Synchronicities

Writer,

 

We observe everything, neatly, and at precisely the right time in our world. Writing it into meaning is the side-effect of the writing process.

 

Faulkner said:

Don’t be a “writer”, but instead be writing.

 

How much freedom does that give you?! Imagine, just to notice, and just to write it down. Imagine if the meaning of what you write was of no consequence.

It’s funny. It’s pure freedom, but only for that moment before the impulse closes down. We need the responsibility of throwing ourselves toward meaning to make it real, and as a way of navigating this incredible system of life.

What if we chose a different way to navigate? What if we decided to follow a different path, the path of synchronicity. What if we watched out around us for the synchronicities, and let that make the path real?

Now that is funny! And you only know what that means, if you are a writer.

 

This week, watch out for the synchronicities.

 

Choose one to explore. Does it have meaning? Is it a guide? Is it a confirmation of your location on the map? Is it the next step on the path?

 

Fact, fiction, poetry or prose. 

Write on!
