So much in AWR that I haven't accessed yet, even after almost two years. Your words are a reminder to search out and accept what is offered. I'll be mining Morning Pages for my posts too, so don't tell Julia!
Thank you for reminding me about this prompt. Whether I use it referencing the literal 24 hour days or “Carpenter’s song” version of yesterday- phases, periods of time- I find it challenging. It’s a good measure of my anxiety level on any given attempt. It has potential to be hopeful and motivational, but sometimes reveals my fears and blocked places. Worthwhile either way.
Thank you for this prompt, Caitlin. One of my daily rituals is to spend 5 minutes writing in a sensory journal, jotting down the sights, sounds, etc, in my proximity as a way to build my "attention" muscles which Jeannine from WITD suggests "list concrete, specific details." It's interesting to use your prompt with some of the entries in my past days.
Yesterday I was small puddles of rain on the pool cover
Today I am the cool draft of breeze through the slider window
Tomorrow I will be the profile of my shadow on the white living room wall
Caitlin, I hope there will be other days when you re-read your "sunrise scrawl" and share it with us. Your words are grace-full, honest and comforting. Thank you. 🤍🕊️

Haha! My lips are sealed, Gesene.

A read I needed today and your piece is filled with beautiful phrases.
“flowing on down the river to join an ocean of cast-off emotions.” ….Something, many things.

Lisa, this is fabulous! I especially like the image of your profile on the wall. Kudos on building your attention muscles.

I’m going to use this tomorrow morning!♥️
