#2: rinse and repeat

James Dalton Trumbo - Writing in the Tub

2.1 Revision: Ring around the ... tub, moon, collar...Rinse and repeat.

Locate a piece of writing that needs a shift: sitting on a plateau, unaware of edges or teetering on the edge, unaware of ground.  Gather some water soluble markers (washable markers); do not steal from children, rather, liberate the markers from their fists.  Write the text round and round and round the tub, bowl, vase [a basin of sorts].  As you fill the container with water, watch as the words morph, dissolve, shift, move, slide, disappear.  

The sloshing of water in belly in basin in moon - what does the gut say?  What lingers, remains?  What will the writing contain?  What will it not contain?  What should the container look like?  If there is a ring in the tub, what color is it?  

Write down the imprint: physical, emotional, cognitive --- process and processing. 

Feeling generous?!? If you are in the sharing mood, please, submit the writing generated from this exercise to Precipice-Collective for inclusion in our anthology - Precipice: Writing at the Edge.  In addition to critical essays and creative works, the anthology will include writing prompts, and hopefully, with your contributions, writing samples from our online community. 

Time lapse using the beautiful music of Elephant Revival and photos I've taken in the mountains of Northeastern Utah.
