Write Here. Write Now.

18 days in and I hope and wish those of you who took up the 30 in 30 challenge are mining a rich seam full of magic and gold right about now.

Halfway is behind you and the journey homeward has commenced but there is still a way to travel.

Tempting as it might be to ponder the end of the road ahead and the steps required to get you there, I would like you instead to bring your attention to the present moment.

Forever is composed of nows. Emily Dickinson.

I would ask that you bring your pen to a mindful place, stop and breathe in... then breathe out. Then breathe in again... and then out. One more time. Be Here Now.

Write Here. Write Now.

Write me a piece about being in the moment...that place where time stops. Could be playing a sport (the zone), shooting a photograph, making love, fishing, climbing a mountain, crashing the car....writing a poem!!!!.....the possibilities are endless.




So once the moment has passed and you find yourself in possession of a completed poem please add to our link-up below and make sure you take a moment or two to visit the other poets who are participating in the prompt.

    Keeping busy is always my way of coping. Interesting (though not really surprising) what shows up when I pause.
