 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: Set a timer, and spend five minutes writing a stream of consciousness post. ====== This is my favorite type of writing. In fact, I do this almost every day. It is midday now. 12:15. Saturday, December 2019. I think I’ll talk about my desktop wallpapers today. Because this is what I have in front of my eyes. At this time, I have the wallpaper of a placid ocean view with only a calm blue ocean under blue sky and a silhouette of a lone seagull in black. Smack in the middle of the wallpaper is the silhouette of a young girl, sitting watching the ocean. I love this wallpaper because it reminds me of myself when I was a young college student. The hairstyle of the girl is long with the ends curling upward at her shoulders. I had the same hair, then. On top the wallpapers toward the right side, I wrote in Gimp, a quote, which I don’t know the origin of, that says “In the end, all is between you and God. It was never between you and anyone, anyway!” I don’t know why this quote talks to me. Maybe it reminds me of my deep-down part. I change my laptop wallpapers often. This one I use repeatedly, especially when I need to calm down, and this is the season to remind oneself to calm down as there are many exciting things and excited people all around. I found out that I don’t like to look at snow scenes. In real life I loved looking at the snow, especially under moonlight, as when we lived up north, we had a two-acre semi-wild yard with lots of trees and a clearing toward the back. The moonbeams would come through the branches, creating a hollow effect, but the snow on the clearing would shine like a whitish cover. No photo I have taken of it has done it justice, but the vision of it in my memory. How did I come to my once-upon-a-time backyard? I was talking about wallpapers, wasn’t I? So going back, before this wallpaper, I had another wallpaper last month. It had the cute photo of a small white dog with friendly eyes. On top of that one, I had written, “Joy, don’t slouch!” in Gimp, I only use Gimp to write on images. This one was to remind me of not slouching since I kept that wallpaper all through November while I was doing the NaNo, and I sat at the computer for long periods of a time. I don’t sit at the computer for very long, usually, but I keep going and coming throughout the day. Since I got an android for a phone, I check my email and other stuff I used to check on the laptop. This is why I don’t sit at the computer for too long nowadays, which is for the better because of my slouching habit. Recently I bought a shoulder brace to help me not slouch, but as I write this I am laughing because the brace is hanging at the back of my chair, as I forgot to wear it when I sat down at the laptop. I think my five minutes are up. |
