Rob Breszny posed the following challenges yesterday, and I have decided to choose one to answer as my Morning Write or Blog Entry when I am blocked. I am posting them here in case you find inspiration for your own writing.

1. What did you dream last night?

2. What image or symbol represents the absolute of your desires?

3. In what ways has your fate been affected by invisible forces you don't understand or are barely aware of?

4. Tell a good lie.

5. What were the circumstances in which you were most dangerously live?

6. Are you a good listener? If so, describe how you listen. If not, explain why not.

7. Compose an exciting prayer in which you ask for something you're not supposed to.

8. What's the difference between right and wrong?

9. Name something you've done to undo, subvert, or neutralize the Battle of the Sexes.

10. Have you ever witnessed a child being born? If so, describe how it changed you.

11. Compose a beautiful blasphemy that makes you feel like crying.

12. What do you do to make people like you?

13. If you're not familiar with the Jungian concept of the "shadow," find out about it. If you are, good. In either case, give a description of the nature of your personal shadow.

14. Talk about three of your most interesting personalities. Give each one a name and a power animal.

15. Make up a dream in which you lose control and thereby attract a crowd of worshipers.

16. Name your greatest unnecessary taboo and how you would violate it if it didn't hurt anyone.

17. Give an example of how smart you are in the way you love.

18. What ignorance do you deserve to be forgiven for?

19. What was the pain that healed you the most?

20. Make a prediction about yourself.
