The write stuff

Only people who don’t write think you know what you think before you write. You write to learn what you think.*
Marc Weidenbaum

Writing is a process in which we discover what lives in us. The writing itself reveals to us what is alive in us. The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey of which we do not know the final destination.**
Henri Nouwen

An idea –
I write it,
A problem –
I write it,
A struggle –
I write it
The criticism –
I write it,
That went well –
I write it,
My story –
I write it;
Writing is my interface between
the ordinary and extraordinary –
An everyday everyone superpower
To make it more powerful, just add
doodles and conversation.
