Paradox ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #376

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we got Ready.

This week, let’s look into the seeming contradictions of Paradox. Or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of Hindus performing the rite of spirit cleansing on the Ganges River in Varanasi, India.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt offered  Mondays.

With each challenge I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as  inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, podcast, video, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.

To participate:

• Use any title you like
• Your response can be words and/or images
• You may use my image to illustrate your post, or any images you have created
• Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
• Add a link to this post in your response

To help us find your response — whether on WordPress, Instagram, Flicker, Tumblr, etc. — you can also:

• Add a comment on this post to announce your response
• Apply the tag/hashtag “Pic and a Word Challenge” or “#picandawordchallenge” to your post

Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.

The previous challenge was: Ready

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #375  was Ready, along with this photograph of boats tied up on the Ganga banks in wait for the evening Aarti ceremony, in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Three bloggers were much more Ready than I was this week. 🙂 Thanks everyone.
