Stream of consciousness writing

What is it?
For this type of writing you express what is in your subconscious through the seemingly random collection of words and ideas that come out of your mind onto the page.  The words flow without judgement or editing for ‘correctness' of grammar or expression.  Virginia Wolfe was renowned for stream of consciousness writing.
This week’s writing was inspired by a suggestion from a friend and writer during one of our writing sessions to write about 21/12/2012 – the end of the Mayan Calendar, and what that means for us and consciousness.
What can you do?
Write for about 10 minutes using your stream of consciousness about 21/12/2012. You might like to consider what you think it is about, how it will affect you and other people and your attitude to the hype.
An example
Your belly has grown full, filled with the watery waves of a new dawn. The gentle pains of healing and release of how we have been treading through the forests of our lives, scratches bare, insides exposed, dripping fluids. A growing pain, gauging your eyes out, messing with your mind, no longer able to rely on past longings of life as it should be. Into the bliss of lighting radiating purity, love in the thump thump of our hearts, free in exuberance. A glow across the globe, lighting into the cracks, opening up the heart centre. Shoooo, shooing, swishing, growing brighter with our imagination, more lovely. Hands joining, fingers clasping, skin to skin, speaking through our energy, rather than words. Knowing in our beings, believing the messages within and above and so is below, and acting on our intuition with wonder and trusting.
