living (and writing) myself into the questions
Good morning good morning. The candles are quiet in their glass containers this morning, the city waking slow into the thick grey, the dawn a long hover. What are you letting hover inside you this morning?
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Quick reminders — here’s what’s coming up, workshop-wise:
– Writing the Flood meets on the fourth instead of the third Saturday this month, on 7/28
– Write Whole: Survivors Write begins another 8-week session on August 6
– The next Coming Home erotic writing salon meets on August 4!
To register for these or with any other questions, contact me!
~ I’m teaching a master class on embodied writing with Memoir Journal on August 25 (to register for this workshop, visit the Memoir Journal site)
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
This morning I am thinking about answers, about questions and clarity, about the uses and practice of writing. Yesterday I started reading Yearnings: Embracing the sacred messiness of life, by Irwin Kula, the first chapter of which opens with this:

Workshops: Summer ’12 Write Whole session begins August 6!
Because July means travel and vacation for so many people, I have postponed the Summer session of Write Whole until August! The new dates are below — if you or someone you know would like to join us, please let me know.
The next Write Whole: Survivors Write workshop will begin on Monday, August 6, 6:00-8:30 pm, and will run through Monday, October 1. We can have a maximum of 9 writers in this workshop — please let me know if you would like to join us! This workshop is open to all women who are survivors of sexual trauma.

when it’s time for independence
What a good morning is this morning: lovely cool morning air that promises to heat up as the sun fully takes over the evening damp; a puppy who gets to run in the park grass, gets to leap high in the air for her ball; morning pages and candlelight alongside green-anise-cardamom tea.
What happens when it’s time for something new? When it’s time to claim independence from some part of yourself, to allow another part of yourself to rise?
