Some thoughts on writing and being...
What does it mean to be fully present?
I see how completely I am entrapped in my mind.
How cleverly my mind weaves its ego needs and concerns into
my journey into presence, which is also the place I want to
be with my writing. To write, simply what flows. Trusting my
Inner Writer, trusting she leads me to my truth.
Eckhart Tolle said you can't get there, get to presence,
you can only be there.
How I long to be there.
Simply be. Knowing I am.
Who is the I am?
I get it, I lose it, I get it, I lose it.
I lose it.
I yearn for it, hunger for it.
Who is the I am?
I think she is quite wonderful and at peace.

As a writer, and I hesitate to call myself one, I too believe in the power of now. Because I have only recently begun this wonderful journey I have come to realize how important it is to be present. I think "stillness" is the key to accessing that deep inner self where characters roam and words flow. For me the trick is always quieting my mind so I can feel what is truly inside. Here is a little something about how powerful our mind actually is.
Quietly she moves
from one thought to the next.
I watch her,
silently bringing
her back to now.
She knows no boundaries.
But I will not judge
only watch
silently
quietly
aware of all that she knows.
Because without her,
Who am I?
Helpless,
I bring her back
once again.
Hoping
I will feel that stillness
if only for a moment.
