There is more room to listen
when you choose to go outside.
There's an expansive space to contemplate.
Find your personal place to meditate.
It's easy to calm your own chatter,
to intentionally practice listening.
Ready to receive quiet inspiration.
A gift you can give yourself.

"I honestly think in order to be a writer, you have to learn to be reverent."
~ Anne LaMott p.99 Bird by Bird © 1994
I truly believe
that you should be able
to find awe in every
day of your life.
That God is intrinsic
in all of his creation.
That the paying of your attention
results in a tremendous
return on investment.
So, reduce your screen time,
get outdoors, be present.
Try to remember
each sight, sound
and sensation.
Now,
take some time
to write.
