Call for Flash Essays on Theme of "Way Seeking Mind": The Dewdrop

Ends on July 31, 2020

Some schools of Zen Buddhism like to assign 'Way Seeking Mind' talks, an opportunity for students to reflect on their lives' journeys and the various influences, people and events that have brought them to where they are today.

The Dewdrop invites writers to submit a flash essay of no more than 300 words along these same lines. The essay might reflect a longer journey or a pivotal moment in your life, and we encourage you to be as creative as you can with the draft.

You could consider the following questions in relation to your life/spiritual trajectory:

What have been the main sources of your spiritual inspiration? Which people in your life have had the strongest influence and how? Can you identify a pivotal moment that was a true game changer? Has there been a special book that rocked your world? An event that completely changed your perspective?

We are generally able to reply to submissions within 90 days. We accept simultaneous submissions, but please do let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere.

We cannot pay for published work at this time. Submit here.
