WRITING
PROMPT From Midnight Pages:
Close your eyes. What do you hear, smell, taste? What do you sense at an
energetic or intuitive level? Spend some real time. Find at least twenty-five
things. When it gets hard to add to the list is when it gets interesting…”
Excerpt:
VIGILANTIA
Vigilantia: lying awake, sleepless, vigilance. The silence and stillness of
midnight might feel suffocating, dense, and thick—heavy with foreboding. It
might have you lying in bed, heart pounding, afraid of the dark.
Under the cloak of night, your hearing is heightened. Sounds startle you awake
as you drowse. Your mind can ramp up: haunting memories, recriminations,
regrets, and stuck thoughts keep you from your rest. Some “insights come up as
well and sensations: the surge of adrenaline, pricklings on your neck. You
might feel the weight of the dark bearing down on you or you notice movement in
the shadows. Maybe you have the sense you’re being watched. Something lurks in
the dark that’s imperceptible during the day. You might feel like you are not
alone, and that subtle presence over your shoulder seems familiar. You wonder
if it’s been there before, maybe even always. During the day, with music
blaring and people talking, you just don’t perceive it. Ask what message all
this has in store for you. Don’t reject what you hear. Don’t dismiss. Allow.
Night belongs to the spirits. –Proverb
