“We need to write because so many of our stories are not being heard. Where could they be heard in this era of fear and media monopolies? Writing allows us to transform what has happened to us and to fight back against what’s hurting us. While not everyone is an author, everyone is a writer and I think that the process of writing is deeply spiritual and liberatory.”

I believe this. We may think writing has to be big and spectacular. Have a message or higher purpose. Once we get over that, we free ourselves to express ourselves.
Somehow some of us feel the need to share what we write. No shame in that.
Even posting quotations is expressing something about ourselves. 😉

I agree. Write what ever comes to mind, and go from there.

I agree. Great quote. There is much to process and writing is a healthy way to do so. I would love to write with you if you are interested in connecting with others in an online, small group experience. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/renewal-through-poetry-writing-circle-tickets-130897196037
