Natalie Goldberg On writing…
Let your words sing out!
Writing On The Bones by Natalie Goldberg
Have you read this classic? I remember when I was seeling used books as a bookscout, when I finally took some time to read most of this book. I may have started it before I moved to NM, but I definitely finished it when I was here, in NM. I enjoyed hearing a voice that reinforced the necessity to write.
Often here I focus on more material aspects of writing. Getting published, jobs, markets, resources. However some of us just need to write. In the last 7 days I went through numerous emotional upheavals. WHEn they began ad throughout the epsiodes I frequently returned to my journal and wrote. Here I found clarity. Here I released. Here I nourished myself with ideas.
Whatever you write is important, no matter what you intend to do with it. A writing session may give birth to a new business idea, a painting, a new career. Perhaps it is the release that clears your mind and opens your herat to healing. Perhaps it is a prayer that helps you feel the grace of God.
Let’s always honor our sef and our words. Write abundantly. ALso go to youtube for more from Natalie Goldberg.
