Write the Nonexistent into Life

"By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it.  The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired." - Nikos Kazantzakis.

What does not yet exist that you could bring into life today?  

Do you need to stimulate a friendship? Would refreshing lines in a poem or story add to its possibility? What if you left an encouraging note for the mailman, an office worker, or someone who provides a service you take for granted? 

Think of just one area of life that needs enriching for someone else.  Then add one for yourself.

Make your day one of believing and doing.  Become a magician of what could add energy to our weary world.

Write the nonexistent into life.

Childlike Wonder

Write about your childhood self.  Discuss expectations, stumbles, and charms.

What vital essence can you extract and bring to the present?

Do you still take advantage of childlike wonder?  If not, search for it to include as a valuable addition to your life.

Recall playtime and write about your courage and curiosity.

Launch from Daily Tasks

"I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings 

imposed by the world." 

  - Roland Barthes

Barthes said he would do the above, "for the sake of love." Even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic, it freed up tremendous energy."

What if you take time off from the ordinary? 

Launch from daily tasks. 

Search for an amusement, an adventure, or creative idea that might stimulate your imagination.  

Use boundless vigor and act like a lunatic to accomplish the goal.

Abandon dreary
    Alter your rhythm
         Free up energy
                  
Take a chance
       Make a change.
