Collecting Moments
What are the specific moments that you still feel, see, hear or experience? What moments are still close to the senses or seem to be still alive? Make a list of ten moments that come up like this. Create diversity: one moment might go into an image you saw, another about some specific words you heard, a third about a feeling inside, an insight, a sudden remark … and so on. Expand on every moment with a few lines of text written in a narrative mode: try to catch the liveliness and the scenic quality. Occasionally your own reactions might become part of it. In the end: look over your collection and see what speaks out. What do you learn? What could be an underlying question?
