Theme to Use: The Awakening
Form to use: short story or poem

Directions

As the world moves in ways many have never seen, some have become awakened, others elevated to a higher consciousness. One of clarity and enlightenment. Through conflict comes truth. Eye-opening revelations. Chapbook vol. IX focuses on the theme “The Awakening.” This can be a short story or a poem. You decide what it means to you.

Is it:

  • A time when the ah-ha moment kicked in, and life changed.
  • When your mind, body & soul became clear, and you finally saw the world in all its wonder.
  • An event that lifted the veil, you were once blind, and now you see.
  • Maybe a universal moment that led you to a higher state of consciousness or awareness.
  • A conflict in history or your life that opened your eyes.
  • An accident or hardship that brought you closer to God.
  • Or could it be a time when you realized nothing is what it seems, and you became aware of all that occurs?

No matter what it may be, submit your piece and let us see what “The Awakening” means to you.
