*** a selection for your inspiration ***In 2021, Creative Quests kicked off with four themes for participants to explore. In any of the themed months, you're asked to keep three lists: Questions, Firsts, Illuminations.
The List of Firsts tracks things you did during the month that youβve never done beforeβno matter how large or small. The list is the perfect way to embrace a beginner's mind. Here's an (unedited) selection from 2021 participants:
βπ» Poetry
My mum read me her favorite poem over zoom
Sent my friends a poem that reminded me of our friendship
Climbed and perched myself in a tree as a result of a poem I wrote
Cried when I saw a bud on a shrub because I finally understood why people went on and on about spring in poetry
Closing my eyes more when listening to poetry. Trying to let the ideas sink deeper and notice how/if my body reacts to certain parts.

Ice plunged in the river!
Snowstands (handstands in the snow)
