Reading & Writing a Life

A Return to the Page

1 Comment

Up since 5am, a usual morning time for me
Reading online, scrolling, resting in someone’s words or an
image
This is just not as settling to my soul as even just these few words of half a journal page with pen in hand…
I have lost my rhythm…the one of coming here to the blank page, ignoring its call, its gentle nudge that I know is speaking to my deepest places…
There is just this “thing”, this release of tightness in my whole being when I come here…
Writing is how I breathe in one of my deepest ways.
Grateful for the blank page, the white space that invites me back to myself, brings me home, once again. (Journal Entry 5/30/24)

    Listening to your body is sooo good! You do it well – remember your massages. also.

    Love you,
