Ritual of Writing


Ritual of writing:

it's the ritual of writing that holds the most meaning to me, content really being what the moment holds and less about idea and theme. My wish is to craft my experience of right now to a page, a demonstration of seamless motion of mind to world. 

that it's just one thing.

morning is early listening, birds giving song, an occasional car goes by in the strange hush of predawn passing. It's the slow stir of the world awakening. I love this time of day, no rush to anything yet, morning has its own timeline that won't be hurried. Things simply happen when they do, the agenda is to slowly show us ourselves alive. 

and then I write.

it's whatever arrives to me, first thoughts considered, allowed to show whatever promise of their early appearance. This is often the most and only real difficult part, showing patience to what's yet to fully unfold, ideas not fully formed but still wishing to be told. I'm open to it all, and once started, write without censure, giving both pause and flow their equal room. 

my interest is in fulfilling the ritual of writing, nothing more - there's no great philosophy here, no grande, original idea. There's just my morning shared with you, offered as completion of the ritual, someone reading for the pleasure of words without true meaning. It's how we keep company, a ritual of together no matter time or distance, we are always joined by page.  

and with these words now...

it's done.
