You could say I’ve internalized my parents’ fear of danger there\u2014from the violence and bombing throughout my childhood.<\/em> You’d be half right<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneath, <\/em>“Who will put their lives in danger by traveling to Israel?” is a deeper impulse\u2014to leave the past\u2014along with our Jewishness\u2014behind. Assimilate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, a seemingly innocuous prompt\u2014to imagine a visit to one of the places on my list\u2014provokes an exploration of deep-seated beliefs and internal restraints, which have less hold for me when I bring them to the surface to examine them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rereading my journal entry, I realize I didn’t even do what the prompt says. Instead of imagining a visit, I explore why it surprises me for Israel to come up on the list! As you work through The Joy of Writing Journal<\/em>, feel free to improvise and follow your muse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Turn to Journal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned yesterday, when I wrote The Joy of Writing Journal<\/em><\/a>, I intended to help spark my readers’ creativity. I went for a light touch, focusing on qualities like playful, quirky and fun. But sometimes a prompt provokes a more intense exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s prompt may inspire a deep dive for you too, or it may just as likely bring up a long held desire to visit some exotic or beautiful land. Or perhaps the land of your ancestors! Maybe it will inspire your next vacation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
