3. Go down the rabbit hole. Sometimes the work isn’t about what you think it is. Allow yourself to get lost down alleyways, to follow a train of thought around a corner. Don’t feel you need to reign yourself in. Too much focus squeezes all the possibility for revelation out of the work.

The Art of Staying Still
There is something to silence, something to solitude and the sustainment of a state of being that lulls a mind into its quiet nooks and rifts, cocooning thoughts into circuitous notions and immovable meditations. To be fixed, fastened and pinned to one place can make a body move slow and make the wandering heart crave… something. Anything. To simply go. For the ones who wish to move freely through the world, this silence, solitude and sustainment can feel less contemplative and more broody, stalled.
This is where I find myself this gray and rainy January day in the middle of the workweek with no brightly lit, faraway place in sight. In this space, feet firmly planted in home, a funny thing begins to happen. As a collector of things — stones, books, trinkets, leaves, words — I surround myself with the things that define my world, define my home. I arrange them carefully to tell…

20 Simple Reminders For Every Type Of Adventurer (From A Person Who Is Not Traveling The World)
Imagination
Imagination – what a blessing and a curse,
to take us places we’ve always dreamed of going,
but not without leaving us no choice

we’d never been to, first.

Some Sort of Clue
He thought of her long and hard.
So hard, in hopes the universe
would send her some sort of clue,
just so he could know that she
was thinking of him, too.
*Wordgasm
Building Block
I write myself to the top,
stepping on each word
like it’s a building block.
Anytime you’re feeling low,
break out the pen until
you feel on top again.
*Wordgasm
Your Wings
Your wings can weigh you down
or they can help you flee.

you’re caged in or free.
*Wordgasm
Natural High

that make me feel high
in the most natural of ways,
like the colors of the sunsets
or your smile on a bad day.
