"The life of Zen attainment is not like standing on a riverbank watching the current and appreciating the water or the landscape as a witness. It is jumping into the current and becoming one with it."
- Trevor Leggett
Today I celebrate my three thousandth (3000) post to my Writing Blog. Posting every day but one since 2009, I've discovered creativity in words as my morning mantra.
I awaken, grateful for the day and turn on "Marcus" my computer, to post what I have prepared the night before. Also, I have posts ready in the starting gates on ideas I've prepared during the week's afternoons.
I began by featuring "writing about writing" to stimulate the love of playing with words for my writing students. As the years progressed, blog ideas involved photography that attracted words and stories. I've played and adventured writing fables, philosophy, and a variety of musings.
Some days I kept going because it felt so good to make something happen with words before my morning run or yoga class.
Mark Twain wanted a day one finds out, Why?"
Rather than pinpoint a day, I feel daily doses of amazement and amusement satisfy.
I launch into
each day's moments and use my senses to push into wonder. The
good, bad, and frustrating engage with me. They challenge and enrich my ability to deal with moments of solution.
Humor assaults life's
challenges.
Laughter dilutes a situation
of dread into one that delves into delight.
Moods lighten with positive
thinking and flick away negative emotions.
My day of discovery arrives
every day. I believe Mark Twain meant each day one discovers
why.
What now, I ask rather than why. My curiosity tingles. Where will my words and wonder lead me?
The blog will continue to evolve.
Reader suggestions for subjects or comments will be appreciated as I continue to write on.
