WRITING IS LIKE A DANCE
Painting by Alphonse Mucha
ARTFUL WRITING
Brenda Ueland has been a rock mentor encouraging me to write for these reasons:
“Why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, bold and compassionate.”
There, I find the courage to share my convictions. She goes on to say:
“Because the best way to know the truth and beauty is to try to express it. And what is the purpose of existence here and yonder but to discover truth and beauty and express it, i.e., share it with others?”
Carl Sandburg calls Brenda’s book, “If You Want to Write” the best guide ever written on how to write – I continue to agree.
Who has best inspired you to write?
ON ANY GIVEN DAY
A SENTENCE AND HAIKU
On any given day, which choice will you make?
HAIKU
Which will it be?
Walk with happy or sad face?
The world is watching
On any given day God can call you home
“I aspire to inspire before I expire.” –Unknow Author
WHEN CONFRONTED WITH EVIL
The Winding Path Art by Mamata
“Someone who is close to God becomes powerful; he can conquer the evil that corrodes the world and he is capable of integrating it into prayer of intercession.”
–Cardinal Robert Sarah
DIALING BACK CONFRONTATION

POINT TO PONDER
“Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.”
–James 1:19
The Evil One seduces humanity to disorder and revolution, but he never has the last word. Dialing back confrontation is doable. One can say, ‘Did I hear you say?’ Or one can ask to clarify the opposite anger. Nothing is impossible with God.

A THOUGHT AND MEDITATION
“Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God.”
–Hebrews 3:4
Don’t you find this thought to be reassuring? I do.
Each of us is given a spiritual house to build and live in and to hand on to our next generation. What will your house be like?
“If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor.”
–Psalm 127
