The Honest Perspective Weekly Prompt — 23rd— 29th June
Facing the blank page together
Whether the ideas have slowed to a trickle or you’re just feeling curious and in the mood for a little reflection. Our weekly prompt is an invitation to ruminate on an idea and see what arises.
Be it poetry or prose you’d like to submit to us, or a journal entry for your eyes only, take a moment to pause at some point during your week and set your pen free.
I think I became painfully aware of time and it’s impact on life at a very young age. I’ve been haunted by the idea of it running out as long as I can remember, and while it is true that as you get older it can feel like it speeds up, I’d like to invite us all to reflect on our personal relationship with time this week.
My own experience has taught me that at difference ages and stages of life, time has different meaning… from being a tween or teen and desperately wanting to grow up faster, to watching a child age infront of you and wish you could just slow it all down. To the everyday hustle and bustle of busyness we inflict upon ourselves, compared to how each second can extend when you are lying on your back in the grass cloud watching, or grind to a halt completely when you are waiting for news about someone you love.
