The alchemical qualities of journaling showed us how to turn isolation into creative solitude, confinement into connection, and confusion into clarity and calm.*

Define a good life as more than shallow pleasure.
A good life is contribution.
A good life s resisting temptation.
A good life is being the best you can be.
A good life is diligently following your book.**

Without my journal practice
it would be too easy to choose

I need challenging words
from others to play
upon my daily pages
to work their magic
in me–
