#pearl #metaphor #davidricho #writingexercises DETAILS: A pearl by any other name... My name translates to Pearl. In fact, the Wat monks made sure I knew the Thai translation as well. And so it is that I identify with the pearl metaphors used in literature. In David Richo (2002) Chapter 2, I came across the following writing exercise, and I think it's a worthwhile task. As 2023 continues, consider the writing prompts on this space, or collect your own to use whenever you need a boost. Your story is worth sharing and leads to lots of pearls. Be the Spark! Consider this commentary on the pearl as a metaphor for pain and its potential to be changed into something beautiful. Then write a poem in response (exploring your memories of pearls or how they figure in your life) or answer the questions I've supplied below"  Comments are closed.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
