The First Draft Is Supposed to Be Wrong
I have watched more writers stop than I can count. They stop because the first draft is bad. They did not know it was supposed to be.

The first draft is not the work. It is the raw material for the work. Its job is to exist, not to be good. The pressure to be go Read more of this blog post »

How to Find Hope in Hard Times: Start by Telling the Truth

For much of my life, I thought being strong meant powering through.

Do the next thing. Take care of everyone else. Keep moving. Be grateful. Don’t fall apart.

There is certainly a time for putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes that is exactly what gets us through the day. But I have learne

Only the One Who Kept the Balance

Some poems arrive as a first line and nothing else. This one arrived as the last one.

The gods, he says, were never the point.

Only the one who has seen light is alive,
and the one who touched the dark with his mind.
Having found the one answer,
he no longer judged his fate so harshly.

The night of shooting stars

Every mid August the Perseids arrive, the most famous shooting star shower of the year. No telescope needed: a blanket, a dark spot far from streetlights and patience. The best hours come late, and exactly that, staying up past bedtime, is half the magic for a child.

So What Does This Mean for How We Live?

©TEA Press

Learning to see where we are changes more than the way we understand ourselves.

It can change the way we live.

If our inner lives have landscapes, and if those landscapes influence what we can see, feel, understand and do, then perhaps the first step towards change isn't always to change o
