Ways to Describe Sunset

Explosive Sky


  Tangerine dreams in peaches and cream.





Flames race. 



Eruption spreads into magenta fingers with reflected shine.





Feel the Fire!

Writers Can Always Write.


Do you feel stuck?

Begin with what irritates you. 

Probe a frustration - impolite people, crazy drivers, lost keys.


Unfinished business might propel you.  


What do you need to do that you started but never followed to its completion. 

Think about a dream that needs expansion into reality.

Write a funny experience.

What makes you smile?

Explore pure joy. 



Start writing into unexplored places.




Jump over, crawl under, leap, and outlast any obstacles.

You can always write.

Enliven!

What truly is a part of our spiritual path is that which brings us alive.  If gardening brings us alive, that is part of our path, if it is music, if it is conversation . . . we must follow what brings us alive.   - David Steindl-Rast

Focus on what brings you alive.

Move from simple pleasures to thoughts of motivation and sense of direction.

What energizes the mind and soul?

Activate aspects of daily life that feel subdued or suppressed.


Immerse yourself in nature to breathe in the atmosphere of growth and change.

Appreciate what sustains you and brings balance.



Enliven your internal wisdom.
