28 NOVEMBER: ANATOMY OF A SPIRAL

Like any landscape we're traversing, anything we’re making, like anything we are collaborating with or relating to in life, writing can be a way of befriending ourselves, becoming our own companions, and noticing the depth and the horizons of our stories and celebrating what makes us human. Sometimes, it's helpful to write to the root: where did this story come from? What is it saying? Following the pathway of a thought process. Today's letter centers in on writing as a practice of investigating the origins of our stories, going to the root of a thing through shapes on a page, through the inner landscape of writing. For the full experience, visit Odette Press on Substack, and equip your creative practice with blank journals and marbled cards for writing, connecting, and sharing in our online shop. Mentioned in today's letter: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
