I am really enjoying working through the prompts from Liz Lamoreux's book Inner Excavation.
One of the first assignments was to 'set an intention' for what I wanted to focus on or learn from the next 7 weeks:
One of my favorite exercises was to create a 'word toolbox' by grabbing a book off of the nearest shelf and making a list of words--then writing an "I am..." poem using the words we found.
A great post! I put my toolbox on my iPad but I love the paper list. Still someone about the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI liked your intention, clear and specific.
Hi GraceGal! Thanks for checking out my post! I'm an analog girl at heart...I like the feel of paper in my hands. :)
ReplyDeleteUrgent truth excursions - I love the sound of that! I too found this exercise so inspiring ... initially I had passed it over when I first read the book. So glad for the company of others to show me the beauty of these practices.

Lis,
ReplyDeleteI passed over the exercise when I first got the book too! I'm so glad I did it this time--I feel so inspired to collect words. It was like my brain didn't have to do the heavy lifting it usually does when I write--I could get SO used to that! :) Thanks for commenting and being along for this collective journey.
This is great - I like that "Inner Excavation" - sounds like a deep practice to delve into.
