The Place



Look at your life.  Choose a place (location) where you have been that you see as a wilderness.  It might have been a work place, a geographical location, a community, a school system, a dormitory or fraternity house (you get the idea?)

Write down as much as you possibly can to describe the place:  sights, sounds, colors, temperature, objects including their position and texture.  Focus upon the physical details of your wilderness place. (We will get into people, relationships, feelings later). 

For now, it is as if you are setting a stage or painting scenery.  (Don’t worry about eloquence if it makes you stall.  You can draw a word sketch or a literal sketch, or if you prefer, find a picture of the place and put it in your journal  for you to contemplate).
