For me, writing has taken more of the form of lists and bullet points lately as Im getting out of the mindset that if it doesn’t look pretty, it doesn’t count, and it’s freeing.
Isn't it funny how we may intend to take a break or "get away from it all" and that's when our minds tend to come alive and the words begin to flow? At least, that's how it seems to happen for me. Which reminds me, yet again, that I need to "get away" for a bit, so the words can come more easily.
It is remarkable, and a sign of grace and hope, but the writing you share always seems to come at the perfect time in the circle of the world I occupy. Thank you hardly seems adequate, but thank you!
Thank you, thank you thank you. I am coming into a season of just writing for myself. After a family rift, I have a lot of things that cannot be said publicly for fear of hurting others but they need to be processed. And if only I read them, that's ok.
Me too! I'm a teacher so summer is a glorious down time. Once I get some sleep my brain starts buzzing with ideas! Not unlike the earth, it's a fruitful season!
Liminal is a great word full of portent and potentiality. Thank you for the simple affirmation. So emboldening to know others also look long and linger where I too love to be.

Wonderful. Writing for no reason or for a reason, just writing. Letting the words come. And in my experience, I agree, it truly is liminal.

This! You've written so eloquently on something I've been thinking about. Thank you for the gentle reminder, the nudge to keep creating.
