Beginning again and again is the actual practice, not a problem to overcome so that one day we can come to the “real” meditation.*
Sharon Salzburg

This will turn out to be the greatest gift we can offer another person: letting them see, every so often, beneath all the trappings and pretence to the truth of us.**
Anne Lamott

I have been writing myself into the day since 1998;
I’ve worked on and adapted the practice over the years, but basically,
I seek to meet both my truth and my possibility at the
beginning of the day – with the help of others
who come to me in a pile of books and online contributions.

It all began when I was in a mess and heard
someone tell their story about how they started to
write themself into the day – a little later the same day
I sat down and wrote my first journal entry, and
I have kept writing ever since, and, more recently,
have followed this with some thin silence blogging that
I hope will be of help to someone else to
keep beginning again.
