A few weeks back, I found myself sitting barefoot on the floor of a local attorney’s office, a space procured for the meeting of a group of women visionaries, artists, teachers, healers, and leaders in the community. We were there for the sole/soul purpose of writing, and sharing our writing. The meeting’s format went something like this: Facilitator presents a prompt. Group writes about it. Group shares, laughs, and in some cases, cries. {Repeat} When the final prompt came around, I drew a blank. Tapped my pencil on the side of my notebook; nothing. Switched positions; nothing. Switched positions, again; still nothing. Finally, began writing and didn’t stop until time was called. The prompt?

“I am hungry for…”

My response?

I am hungry for: Contentment. Connection. Communion.

And alliteration, apparently. So, I decided, might as well take it from the top.

I am hungry for:

Alchemy. Adoration. Another way.

Bounty. Boundlessness. Buoyancy.

Catharsis. Cuddles. Compassion. Compatibility.

Dimension. Delight. Desire (requited).

Effervescence. Elegance. Expressiveness. Ease.

Fallibility. Forgiveness. Fervor. Forever.

Generosity. Grace, and more grace.

Humanity. Holiness. Heart.

Intensity. Immeasurability. Intention.

Joy.

Kindness.

Luminosity. Lightness. Leverage. Levity. Leaning in. Love. Love. Love.

Movement. Marvel. More.

Nourishment. Nurturing – given and received.

Openness.

Purpose. Perseverance.

Quality. Quiet. Quivering, quaking, earth-shaking …

Renewal. Revival. Receptivity.

Sacredness. Spaciousness. Sensuality.

Tenderness. Tenacity.

Undulation.

Velocity. Vulnerability. Vigor.

Wishes, fulfilled.

(e)Xuberance. (e)Xperience. (e)Xploration. (e)Xcitation.

Yearning (requited).

Zero bullshit. None, nada, Zilch.

I am hungry for all of this, and so much more. Now, your turn. What are you hungry for, dear one? What makes your toes curl and your heart beat a little faster? What would be a dream come true?
