Painting In Progress: Striving to Awaken

Painting in progress
"Striving to Awaken"


Who said this?
by Mary Oliver
Something whispered something
that was not even a word.
It was more like a silence
that was understandable.
I was standing
at the edge of the pond.
Nothing living, what we call living,
was in sight.
And yet, the voice entered me,
my body-life,
with so much happiness.
And there was nothing there
but the water, the sky, the grass.

What is Writing Therapy? | Mark's Daily Apple

Read the full post: What is Writing Therapy? | Mark's Daily Apple

"Writing, more than speaking, presents us with a slower, solitary mode for reflection. Unlike conversations, we’re less concerned with another person’s reaction. We listen perhaps more intently to our own voices and catch glimpses of subtler stirrings. We own our words in a more definitive way."

"Stop saying what you know. Write into your ignorance." ~Marvin Bell
