Today we look for magical surprises. My list includes seeing an unusual animal in nature, surprising myself with a poem and hearing the voices of an ancestor while I write, taking dictation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last item seems most unusual, so I write about that and my prose turns into a poem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We skirt our history<\/p>

Stepping forward<\/p>

In a Daze.<\/p>

You burn the letters<\/p>

Of the disquieted dead<\/p>

Hoping to silence them.<\/p>

Their cries only grow<\/p>

More desperate.<\/p>

In the distance<\/p>

They will have their way.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The joke’s on me today! I expected something airy-fairy but this feels truly haunting. And yet, I know it speaks to the gift in exploring the ancestral wounds and healing the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it’s hard to see the deeper truths as gifts when they seem dark, but just bringing them to light begins a process of healing that brings peace to ourselves, our families and even the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need to follow my lead! Your magical day may be light and airy. Enjoy whatever gift your journaling has in store for you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’m curious to see what your journaling generates. Will it be playful? Deep? Joyous? Bold? Ho hum? Magical?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything goes. I didn’t necessarily get what I wanted or expected and there’s a tendency for me to then judge it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel judge-y about your writing, how can you reframe your beliefs about it? Remember we’re just exploring here, no need to perform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
