First, the thought:
There is a rhythm -- a flow -- to life. When we move with it, all things help us along. When we fight it, when we resist the flow, everything seems to resist us.
Go with the flow!
Now, the work...
Consider this little observation about life. Can you turn it into a story? (and the little voice answers: how about a poetry! to which we answer: write it and we'll read it!)
What kind of situation might show the truth (or falsity?) of this observation? Can you picture someone fighting hard, and perhaps finding this observation in their fortune cookie, and what kind of change occurs? (kind of long for a fortune cookie... how about a fortune noodle?)
Scribble, scribble, scribble...
