Are You A Writer?

Are you a writer?  There are as many reasons to write as there are people who write but so often we believe that writing is something only professionals do and this belief stops us.  What is the impulse that has you want to sit down with pen and paper and pour your thoughts on the page?  

I write to quiet the voices of discontent and to gain access to a resonance with the world and my place in it.  I write for the pleasure and the honesty it demands.  I write to discover the secrets buried beneath the surface and to glimpse the perfection unveiled by listening.  Why do you write?  On the other hand, why don’t you?

Writing for me is a process of opening to what T.S. Eliot calls "the still point of the turning world," opening to the world of imagination where words appear on the screen of my mind, like bubbles rising from a pond... Those words connect me with the wholeness of my true being, with my own center in the world, where center can be so easily lost.  I love the sensation of sitting at my desk, pen in hand or computer open, and letting those thoughts, feelings and emotions run amok, all over the page, and then discovering in that flow the very essence of who I am.  

Whether you write every day, once in a while, for publication or simply to know your own thoughts, those who write know that writing is a doorway inside, to the realm of self-knowledge and inner wisdom.  Come stand at the doorway and listen; hear the quiet whisper of your own loving heart.  

Come join me in a journey of self-discovery through

Writing from the Heart

Tools for the journey: a pen, a notebook and a prayer.
