I'm a nonfiction writer these days, yet I expect I'll return to these intention prompts repeatedly. Just reading them is giving me a lot to think and write about. Thank you for putting them out there!

Love all of this, thank you. It made me think a lot about sankhalpa from Indian thought, which we translate as “intention,” it is said that intentions should resonate with the present moment, they should represent a direction rather thank a destination. Whereas goals are future-oriented, intentions allow one to bring the desired result in the present moment, so that indeed, the present moment serves as a means to move towards the stated intention. Thanks again.

Thanks for all of this, especially for sharing so openly about your vision board. That so much of it has manifested gives me goosebumps. Intention and creative visioning is powerful stuff, and so often dismissed as woo-woo hooey in this culture! Congrats on your spring residency at the Kerouac Project!
