Reverb10 prompt #3:
Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).
I’ve been feeling some resistance to this writing prompt (and it’s only day 3!) because it seems to assume a hierarchy of moments that doesn’t really speak to my experience. After all, I’ve been alive all year.
My daily gratitude practice and yoga practice have helped me to become more aware in any moment of what is the now of being here, being alive.
For me, feeling alive doesn’t mean feeling engaged, energized, happy, or excited. It just means being. Being in time, in place, in my physical body.
It’s right there, with every breath.
