I Didn't Just Wake Up This Morning With A Craving
I Write To Understand. I Write To Stop Time
In response to the Daily Prompt in which we are asked to : Describe a memory or encounter in which you considered your faith, religion, spirituality — or lack of — for the first time.
I love this prompt. I love this topic and I love God, a loving God who has always been with me, no matter what I did or railed against them.
Like anyone, I imagine, I’ve had a twisted path to this God.
In response to today’s Daily prompt: You have the power to enact a single law. What would it be?
As a social scientist, I have thought a lot about policies and laws that I wish would get enacted, the trade-offs of such laws, and the unintended consequences, both good and bad. It’s hard to think of real and true changes that will bring the most good, despite the unintended consequences.
Therefore, I think that a law should be enacted that rewards companies for offering their employees downtime, like – in-office art projects or nap time, preferably both, and maybe also time to exercise if someone wants. If they don’t want to exercise, they can work through that time and go home early.
Perhaps the transportation system would be changed to interesting walkways for foot commuters, wide bike paths for cyclists, and slides and escalators for fun options up and down hills.
Finally, there will be small groups of performers wandering around performing – minstrels and trios, small skits and violin players. We would also make trees a priority – keeping and planting trees, weaving the walk paths through them or planting them along the edge. So there would be easy access to shade and music.
I recently made a command decision. I was listening to the local country station, hearing a song about living your life to the fullest, and it helpfully came with suggestions. These songs are meant to inspire thought, I suppose, and inspire it did, because I started thinking about things I’d like to do and adventures I’d like to have.
In response to the daily prompt: Too big to fail: Tell us about something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail (and tell us why you haven’t tried it yet).
A large way that human beings develop and grow is through imitation and watching other people. A problem, though, is this learning-by-comparing eventually brings with it feelings of stress and inadequacy. I’m afraid I am privy to those feelings as well.
