Today, we’ll begin with taking a little bit of a Mary Oliver poem, Wild Geese:
You do not have to be good
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
And so your prompt today is to begin with this sentence:
“The animal of my body loves….”
Thank you for this prompt – I am a couple of days behind as I’ve just returned to my computer. The thing I found interesting about the day one prompt is that it became an exploration of self which meandered into my reflections on life, my thought process and my innermost trials and realisations. It was hard to stop myself writing more, although at first there were a few stumbles or moments when the words halted. I was interrupted during the process, so I blocked out sound with music which is what I do when I create. Interestingly, I think my family is about to become aware that the space I use for this is sacrosanct.
