“We were sent into the world to live to the full everything that awakens within us and everything that comes towards us. Real divinity has a passionate instinct for creativity and the fully inhabited life–the greatest sin of all is the unlived life.“
John O’Donohue
The past few weeks have been full of edits, artwork, and finding peace in the path ahead. While looking through old writing, this poem that I wrote in 2002 seemed like a good one to post again in 2024.
On being a writer
If you
sleep
at night,
the dreams come.
Every book
idea I have
comes
to me
right when I’m getting
ready
to
fall
asleep. So tired
that I cannot
fathom reaching
over
to grab my
notebook.
I drift off
to
dreamland.
