Write for Freedom

"We write to imagine our own freedom or someone else's; we linger on things that frighten or delight us."           
- Rachel Kadish

Freedom involves the ability to do the difficult work of listening to feelings, managing them without over-reacting and respecting the feelings of others.  It requires really hearing and absorbing the details of nature and the universe.

Fear of abandonment underlies reasons individuals do not trust and or permit themselves to feel in times of trouble in relationships. Avoidance never serves to avoid hurt.  The numbing effect of shutting down achieves nothing.

A journey into the unknown beyond fear, creates a process of inner transformation.

Relaxation in a natural setting pen in hand starts the process. Writing beyond frustration will begin a revelation. Inner peace arrives in trickles and energizes without fanfare. Often shortlived, the achievement becomes a goal to write for again. The flow will gain speed.

Creative Write:    Write for freedom today in a natural setting.
How do you define your freedom and peace?  Do you push past anger, grief and cynicism?  Write beyond the abstractions: vitality, harmony, serenity and potency. Make peace with yourself.
