I write daily. It is my spiritual practice and has guided me in so many areas of my life.
It provides clarity, a way through my confusion and a way to still my mind when the endless chatter takes me to places that could cause rumination. I write with no thought about content, grammar, punctuation or spelling. It frees my mind to go in so many directions.
I was introduced to this style of writing in 1986 when I took my first “freestyle” writing class and given a copy of ‘Writing down the bones’ by Natalie Goldberg. It did, as her byline promised, “free the writer within”.
Since that time I have had articles published, and taught many writing classes and workshops.
