Writing Prompt: What Are You Longing For?

What are you longing for?

If we can catch longing when it arises, we might learn something. Sometimes, longing can be as simple as a physical urge or craving. As in, I’m longing to go outside, for physical touch, or to eat a delicious dessert. Longings can also be more emotional. You might have a longing for connection or belonging. Or a longing to slow down or rest. Or a longing toward an unfulfilled dream.

Longing can reveal our hopes, values, and callings.

This week, let’s explore longing, by tuning in to your heart’s deepest desires.
