December 3 – Tabula Rasa

by Trish / 03/12/2020

It means clean slate. It’s a phrase I’ve long been aware of, since I read in in Imajica long long ago, which is likely how it ended up in this list. I was going to use caveat emptor, but that one doesn’t invoke the same level of feeling Tabula Rasa does. The phrase in the novel was the name of a cabal of humans who were on a mission to purge the world of magic and mystical things after a…

December 2 – Magic

by Trish / 03/12/2020

I thought to myself, just yesterday, that I don’t have as much magic in my life as I used to. But that’s not true, it just doesn’t look or taste the same and so I’ve decided it’s left me. Of course it works better when I’m present, but even when I’m not, it is. I remember when we used to call down the moon, when we would howl at her light and invite her to tea. Dip cookies in the…

December 1 – The Life I Deserve

by Trish / 01/12/2020

Bombarded with phrases meant to keep me humble (you get what you get, it is what it is, that’s the way the cookie crumbles), or inspire loftier aspirations (life is what you make it, you’re only as good as your last haircut, success isn’t going to crawl into bed and snuggle unless that’s your job or whatever), it can be difficult to find that place where I’m sincerely engaged with contentment. I really hesitated when using the word “deserve” in…

November 8 – The Wind

by Trish / 11/11/2020

“I listen to the windTo the wind of my soulWhere I’ll end up, well, I thinkOnly God really knows” -Cat Stevens No one could say who had first named it. Nor when it first appeared. As high as anyone could imagine, and not a soul had ever made it to the edge along ground level. Not to the east, nor the west. A massive wall of shimmering light, or was it fog, or was it where matter dissolved from what…

November 5 – Free Write

by Trish / 06/11/2020

So there’s no topic in particular today which means that everything is on the table. I’m going to close my eyes and see what happens. Whenever people ask me what I write, upon finding that I am a writer, I usually say, whatever shows up. It’s been a while since I did that.And yes, my eyes are closed. Let’s see how familiar the keys are, how easily my finders find their way around. I have no intention to edit, but…

Nov 3 – Cracking a jar

by Trish / 04/11/2020

Cracking a jar of something, surely.That’s the problem with throwing out fragments of ideas without any followthrough. I think, I’ll definitely remember what this is all about whenever I can get back to it, but it’s rare that the original thought stays intact very long without any flesh. I might have been referring to my secret desire to can things. To have a whole cupboard dedicated to tins of tea, a pantry of preserves, a stockpile of soups. I guess…

Nov 2 – The first time I

by Trish / 04/11/2020

The first time I went somewhere by myself was a revelation. I was 18, had recently made the transition from being mostly homeless to living in a small room in a shared kitchen/bathroom style house not far from the university. I always knew about the theatre there, which specialized in arthouse and second run cinematic delights. There was a movie about Chet Baker playing, a documentary called Let’s Get Lost, and I was at the time enraptured by the baby…

October 31 – The Dark

by Trish / 01/11/2020

Taught to consider that monsters hide hereTaught not to engage, that I’d only find fearIn shadow lay creatures repulsive, corruptedOften wearing disguises appearing seductive. “Come over to our side, the power’s impressive!There are cookies and policies fairly progressive.Don’t worry too much about the tales of brutality,Even good guys can have a warped sense of morality.” Raised religious, the stories emphasized how it’s right“Be like Carol Anne and go t’ward the light!”Stay on the good side of your chosen deityBe humble…

October 27 – Forgiveness

by Trish / 29/10/2020

It can be tricky. I’m sure that sometimes it can feel like the only thing keeping me upright is this notion that I have to press on for fear of disappointing someone. I can even pretend that I’ll be disappointed if I don’t follow through, but that’s not quite right. Here’s an example. I have a picture in my head of how I want something to look. A story, a living space, a work space, a head space, my hair…

October 20 – Resolution

by Trish / 21/10/2020

I had the words for this earlier, but they got twisted around like the sock with the heel on top of my foot that would feel so much better if I’d just take the few seconds to fix it, but today it just feels beyond me. I convince myself that I want to wallow in this moderately uncomfortable place, it’s so familiar. That one where I know there are things I could do, things that need doing, things that would…

Dated Prompts for the whole of 2021, as a gentle push but spaced out to give breathing room for other projects that might show up.
As always, no obligation to anything but that which feels right.

December 24 of a year that has been relatively good to me, considering all that has happened.
I have been loved and leveled up to an extent I never expected.
I'm comfortable in my skin, grounded in my art, and delighting in the shiny darkness that tempers my light so well.
I am so grateful to be where I am, and who I am, and that's in large part due to the folks I'm lucky enough to love and be loved by.
You give me so much, even when you might not realize it.
I wish you joy.
I wish you love.
I wish you time and the space to understand how perfectly intrinsic you are.
You are magic.
I wish you a Merry all of it.

Still prompting myself, and whoever else wants to

Still prompting myself, and whoever else wants to join in.
Will I do all 31? Perhaps.
If I don't, that's okay.
I'll keep doing the work, which some days is showing up, and some days is just getting up.
But the words are patient, and I'll keep weaving them as long as it takes to make a hammock that rocks me when I need it, with space for you, too. #theartistasmuse

Fall..
Into the habit of existing on a path that stays steady and leads me true.
Into a place I never expected to find him, and I meant that to be home but sometimes autocorrect knows just what it's doing. #meanderingroadsgothebestplaces
