the current will find you - wild river - creativity prompt, part two

Shared at the start of the week, here was the original prompt: 

This week, we're going to play with the concept of found art. Collect things as you're going through your days - notes or receipts blowing in the breeze, a fallen leaf, a pebble, anything that catches your eye and makes you feel curiosity or peace. Place all the items in a bowl / container. Later in the week, I'll post prompts to explore and play. ♡

Now, some ideas for additional exploration! ♡

1. Consider any of the following questions for reflection or journaling: What are these art / life messengers trying to tell me? Do I see a unifying theme among the items? In what ways are they different? How do they spark curiosity? How do they bring peace? 

2. Write a short story where the main character is on an Epic Quest and is given a pouch with these items to assist them. In your story, perhaps allow the main character to use at least one of the items to gain an important insight.

3. Create a simple poem. As the first lines of your poem, write out the list of all the items you collected. Then, for your final line, fill in the blank: Mystery showed me (what?). 

4. Create a collage using all the items. Consider adding magazine clippings that follow similar themes or add extra color and texture. 

5. Arrange your items to look like a mandala: a center item with other items branching out, like how a bloom would look or a kaleidoscope. Take a photo.  

6. Weave these items into meditation. Place the bowl of items into your lap. Close your eyes and do a couple rounds of comforting, deep breathing. Ask, "What do I need to consider today?" Allow yourself to pick up an item without trying to over-think what your hand is touching / selecting. Open your eyes, observe your selection, and ask yourself. "What is this item trying to tell me?"
