Consciousness Indexed
Last but not least, here’s our daily prompt, optional and once more taken from our archives. Have you ever flipped to the index of a book and found it super interesting?…. Today, I challenge you to write your own index poem. You could start with found language from an actual index, or you could invent an index.
For this prompt, I picked up a nearby copy of Process and Reality by Whitehead, and took the idex entries for ‘Consciousness’.
