S1 Ep. 99 The Refuge of Writing

Send us Fan MailThere is no Frigate like a BookTo take us Lands awayNor any Coursers like a PageOf prancing Poetry –This Traverse may the poorest takeWithout oppress of Toll –How frugal is the ChariotThat bears the Human Soul – BY EMILY DICKINSONEach time the subject of writing things down comes up, this particular poem runs through me, and I am so fired up. I have come to embrace writing as a therapy, something that helps me get by the day or situation. When I feel that heavy weight of life come crushing, I look for that avenue, be it on a scrap of paper, a note pad or my phone, to release that emotion, more like to find a release.  This may not follow any written down rules for writing, but it creates a pattern, which, after one has finished writing, leaves beauty in words to behold, and the best way to describe this beautiful feeling is to behold one’s self in a refuge, a safe space. Knowing that you are safe, be it psychologically, emotionally, or physically gives you this latitude to live and express yourself in a way that gives you peace and distributes this peace to everyone around. Our existence has come to reveal the above conviction for me; as I look on and observe my environment, one way to appreciate everything is to lay my hands on what has been written, feast my eyes on the content, and engage with it passionately.  If it can be written down, it can be measured, and if it can be measured, then it can be achieved.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
