Follow the White Rabbit
PROMPT: In less than 500 words create a blog about this activity and what you hope to gain from it when you are finished. Hmm, follow the white rabbit means I choose to immerse myself in stifling, blinding, shape-shifting smoke. "White rabbit" is the phrase one chokes out as they hastily get up and try to avoid campfire smoke. In other words, I choose to torture/test myself and my capacity for the uncomfortable and the unknown. I cannot perceive what awaits me. I may be forced to re-position myself. That's 'kinda' bleak, and not entirely what I intended, I rambled. I don't consider writing and the creative process to be an inconvenience. It's a challenge. Sure, my thoughts and ideas often tease me with their randomness, and they can dance just out of my reach in shimmery, shadowy shapes. All I can do is follow. I choose to chase the rabbit of creativity and adventure. I'm open to a nudge or two. I'm up for some spontaneity and the sensation of falling into the unknown. It's a good thing I don't believe in good luck talismans like a rabbit's foot. Alice's White Rabbit contends with enough anxieties to add one less leg to his burdens. I'll willingly stumble and react as Alice did. During a fall, time is suspended. Sounds and sights are distorted. The fall itself becomes the immediate focus. I endeavour to recreate that focus with this writing challenge. I suppose I hope to relax into this fall and accept where it deposits me. Granted, I do not relish bruises, sprains, or what have you, but writer's cramp may be inevitable. As I roam, perhaps cavort, I hope to better appreciate time. My goal is to develop a better grasp on the use of my time. Writing deserves my unhurried attention. (305 words)
