Listen ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #399

Furious Nature, State Highway 40 West, Jensen, Utah, United States of America

In the chaos
Amidst the storms
I listen

For the words
Arising from
The love within

In them find
A path beyond
Suff’rings past

Carried in the present

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we filled a Vessel with peace.

This week, let’s just sit quietly and Listen for inner wisdoms. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of a furious storm over the Utah desert along State Highway 40 near Jensen, in the USA.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt typically offered Mondays. [Delayed one day this week due to laptop failure. 😦 ]

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: Vessel

Alone with my Thoughts, Amphitrite Point Lighthouse, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada
Challenge 398 ~ Vessel

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge 398 was Vessel, along with this sunset photo of a man standing beside Amphitrite Point Lighthouse in Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada.

One blogger filled their Vessel to overflowing this week. ❤ Thank you. 🙂
