"Because there is only one of you in all of time..."

What is your story?
What truth are you trying to tell?
What is your life theme?
What is your secret?
Why do you write?
What do you really want to say?
What is the point?
What makes you unique?
What drives you?
Did you tell the truth yet?
Did you hide it?
Did you draw blood?
Did you pay attention to the hurt?
Did you listen?
Are you satisfied?
Did you tell the story you want to write?
Did you tell the one you need to?

Here is a quote that Sarah Dotts Barley shared with our group this past weekend. I think, when asking yourself all the tough questions, this might help:

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open…"

Your words are your dance. Your words are your story. Your words are your words. Because there is only one of you in all of time. And we want to hear you.
