When I write, I bask in the freedom of joyous expression

In a world shut down by the pressures of conformity and compliance, I find writing to be a glorious opportunity to fully, humbly, and honestly open my heart. When I write I bask in the freedom of joyous expression and celebratory creativity.

I find the process of connecting with the inner flow of creativity to be extremely exhilarating so I’ve trained my mind not to interrupt as my heart runs with ideas and inspiration. Instead, I let them fly off the keyboard and delight me with their dances. (I can always edit later.)

Writing from the heart is a wonderful way to discover the glorious more — the part of life that we often neglect, reject, or negate — the joy hidden and dormant within us even during our saddest moments. When I’m quiet, pondering, and expecting I don’t have to find the words, the words of life find me, fill me, comfort me, and thrill me.

Contemplative writing, even if no one reads it, is a great way to discover the spiritual aspect of life. It’s one way that I connect with my Creator, the living Jesus Christ, and surrender to His loving guidance and to His beautiful gifts.
