I went to a writing workshop today and we were given a prompt to write on. I never had the chance to share it with the group so I thought I would post it here.
Prompt:
Something that was lost
Response:
As I wrote the prompt down that Patty gave us in the group my eyes immediately filled up with tears. What were those tears all about? Loss. The first thing that came to mind was loss of innocence. So what does that really mean? Innocence is lost over and over again at all different stages of life. Is it something that we really need or want to find again?
Something that was lost. Is anything really ever lost? Don't we have everything that is important to us in our heart and soul? The cells of my parents and grandparents are alive in my body even though some of them have passed on. They are with me every. single.day They are all not lost to me.
I lost my health for awhile, but it was found and I am thriving once again.
What is lost can always be found. Lost opportunities, lost time, and lost treasures, if they were meant to be they will come around again. Spirit will guide them back to us.
Everything we need we already have. We are all a little like Dorothy sometimes, believing we are lost in OZ, when right along we have had everything we needed to get back home to our hearts and our purpose.

What an awesome write about things lost, Lena! It was great to see you reappearing here with deep thoughts for us to ponder! Now that I am a bit older I have learned the wisdom of what you are saying, we spend so much of our younger years trying to acquire more... more friends, more money, more education, more fame, more material things. Eventually we come to realize that we have all we need, in fact we have more than we need. When we start stripping away all the material aspects of "more" we find that we do indeed have within us everything to guide us in lives that will be meaningful and good. I agree with you that we don't have to track down lost pieces of us, or of information, we have it all inside waiting to be rediscovered. Beautiful post, thank you for sharing!
Just beautiful. That's all.
I love your writing style!!! It's inspiring and creative while being real at the same time. Good Job with your blog :)
