  • My body, mind, and soul, of course.

    Daily writing prompt
    What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

    Deep breath. Come into this moment.

    What else needs to be written about this?

    I suppose I could write about how not to be attached to objects and possessions. I could consider whether or not my body, mind, and soul actually fall under the category of “personal belongings.” Certainly, I’ve had experiences where it’s clear that people around me do not think any of the three belong to me.

    But I cannot dwell in those moments.

    So I won’t.

    I could carry on writing here, sharing my ideas and thoughts. Offering my words up on the silver platter that is this platform.

    I could dig and excavate myself in search of something worthy of sharing. A bold statement or truth. Or perhaps a particularly poetic turn of phrase.

    But I will not do that work.

    Because if I do that work, then it will undermine the truth.

    The truth of my value. The truth of my worth. The truth of my being just by being.

    I am my own most valuable possession not because of what I can offer. But because I am.
