It occurs to me this kind of writing -journaling, purge letters, freeform- is internal communication. Even when our guesses at behavior and responses be pretty much on point, it’s all still projection, supposition. So why not lean into this? Why not use writing as a way to reach inward, connect with our own selves? Any one of those methods I mentioned earlier would be effective, each serving different needs.
For the last two and a half years, I and other members and guests of the Collective have been blogging on Thursdays. Last Spring, this Thursday blog became my primary writing space and I have loved the discipline of the weekly writing.
I am making the shift to offering a Monday Message, with some thoughts about starting the week and more of the musings on life that have been my primary content.
There won’t be a blog post this week beyond this message, and I urge you to check in on Monday morning as I return to Practices of Slowness and Tools for the Journey. Also, please follow the ‘subscribe’ links on our homepage to sign up for my upcoming newsletter.
With gratitude,
-Rev. Jess
