April 7 - Writing Down The Bones

Writing down the bones
The foundational bones
Building a structure
Sustaining a life
Finding your Writer's voice
Following the thread of design
Raising up a body of writings.
That let your light shine.

Freeing the writer within.
Letting the words flow up and through you
Experiencing them, then letting then go
Snapshots of moments
Written down and captured
Like gems under glass
Fragile and timeless
Universal, yet individual
Unique, yet common.
Raw emotions play on heartstrings
Dance like butterflies
flittering then gone.

A tribute to Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down The Bones. Initially published in 1986, then released again in 2016 as the 30th anniversary of the book.
