To Write is To Be

The art of writing is a lifelong practice of noticing, wondering and believing in the power of voice. It is a delicate balancing of ideas coming from a myriad of responses to life. After reading poet and children's book author, Kat Apel's post from the CYA Conference in Brisbane, Australia, I started thinking about the quote she shared.

"To write is to be. We are a tapestry of everything we've ever written."
-Isobel Carmondy

Writing is in the make-up of my being.

It is a thread that keeps

spinning, lengthening, and

filling spaces of my mind. 

It is my equation: 

a little bit of this plus a little bit of that- 

my recipe for a unique

taste of life.

I am the tapestry
of everything I have ever written.
Word weaving is my process
to see and understand this world.

There is wonder in this world. With a positive outlook, we can find it showcased in nature and everyday happenings. I believe that my yoga practice has taught me to be more aware of what I see and to unveil that in my writing and digital artwork. My practice has gone through remixes and new designs in the creative pursuit of being mindful and aware. Within the productive struggle, I often find ideas brewing, rising, and becoming entities of thoughtful wondering.

To write is to be but to engage in the act is about becoming.

On Slice of Life Tuesday, I write to join the Two Writing Teachers community

to be inspired by other writers.
