Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2025

Prompt 3. Sept 3.
Pick and choose one Photo Prompt and blog away.

I pick photo number....


Photo Prompt 2 Blogging Week 2025

I like the creativity of this picture. The child in the flux of creative joy where anything else has no substance or place. They are completely immersed within space and time of what is in their heart. It is the flow state. The state, all of us as creatives, long for and dream of. It takes us out of the real world and we become mind, emotion and creation unbound to any fixed point.

Creativity is a messy business. It is 'all in' and it is everything.

When you are able to sink into the heavenly essence of creative spirit you become one with it, Everything else falls away and becomes hazy at the edge of creativity's pop of colour, vibrancy and vivaciousness. There is no other high for a creative than this - when the spark ignites the imagination and it hums with emotion.

It is at that point we can see the face of God smiling down at us... if we were so inclined to look. But maybe God's presence is enough to be felt. It is an acceptance. An all is right with the world kind of essence. It tingles through your body like butterflies lifting into the summer breeze.

There in that flash of moment, but gone just as quickly.

Savour those moments. Sip them like sweet nectar and dive into the depths of their resevour of emotional compassion and elation.

Don't take these moments for granted. They come like sprinkles of spring rain on a sunny day. Watch the rainbow hover in the sky and smile. You have been blessed.

There will be times when your path becomes dark. You may trip on overgrown roots that crisscross the path making moving forward seem bleak and forbidding. It is in those moments you remember the small child hunkered down with their crayons, their mind buzzing with the joy of creativity and you let yourself be that child. See your way through the debris of broken dreams and stale endings. Let the image lighten your load and bring you back to how it all started - carefree and unbridled. Let your mind go there and maybe, just maybe, your heart will follow and you will find your way again.

I could see this as a poem.... with a little bit of work.

Word Count is 387.

It's WDC - 25th Birthday

Blog / Scavenger Hunt:
A Warped Witch I Be Author IconMail Icon wants us to:
We have ten or more members who joined WDC during the years of 2002 and 2004. Pick any five and review something from their portfolio. Yup, more scavenger hunting.
(hint: not all are blue cases)

Post your review numbers of the five in your blog entry and tell us what drew you to that work. (Remember a paragraph not one sentence) Just think this week reviews earn more gps.
*** Reviews must be more 750 characters w/o WritingML***

Okay. I can do this...

Fairy ☮ Author IconMail Icon is a yellow case member who joined the site on February 28, 2002. She is still a very active member and I recognize her name. *Bigsmile* She does a lot of the same challenges as I do. So I had lots to chose from when it came to reviews.... I decided to review her Dear Me 2025 letter - Review of "Dear Me 2025" Open in New Window. I was well over the required 750 characters.

Next is another yellow case, a Sunflower in Texas Author IconMail Icon who joined March 1, 2002. I reviewed a piece of her fiction - Review of "Candy Apple Red Corvette" Open in New Window.

I found a moderator Davy Kraken Author IconMail Icon who joined March 8, 2002. His portfolio was very interestingly set up. But I have done 6 reviews.... and spent all day doing this and I still have two other activities to do!

I found a purple case for Sophyween Author IconMail Icon who has been here since March 25, 2002. I reviewed one of her SLAM poetry pieces - Review of "Betrayal" Open in New Window.

Another blue case moderator Maryann Author IconMail Icon joined April 16, 2002. I took in her adventures in Australia - Review of "My Trip to Australia" Open in New Window. I wonder what other places she's been to?

I hope it is okay to not have all blue or purple cases. You didn't specify case colour in your prompt, except to say they aren't all blue and I wanted to spread the love.

If we have to do all blue and above cases, I can add these ones.

James A. Osteen Jr. Author IconMail Icon is a blue case - April 18, 2002. I did a review of one of his many poems - Review of "Slipping into forgetfulness" Open in New Window. It was lovely. I do hope he is still active on the site.

Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose Author IconMail Icon is a blue case - May 21, 2002 Princess Megan Rose reviews a lot of my work so it's only fair I include her in my blog and review something of hers. This is the review I did - Review of " Downton Abbey, Starring Me As Mary " Open in New Window.
