This is how I write


To Write from the Heart



Feelings on paper, the shape of depth
from within.

Eyes witnessing life, sweeping down
to the deepest self.

To write from the heart.
One must first have a dream.

Never letting go of that dream even
when obstacles threaten to damage
the path.

To write from the heart.
One must never tire of taking in
knowledge.

Learning about life and about
ourselves.
Experiencing the treasures life brings.

To write from the heart.
One must expand the imagination.

The boundless realm of creation
within ourselves, should never
be shut away.

To write from the heart.
One must exercise the ability to
become oblivious to our
surroundings.

To lose ourselves in the words.
To become the paper being
written upon.

To write from the heart.
One must appreciate life.
To look upon our life as a marvelous gift.
To look upon the earth as a
priceless wonder.

To write from the heart starts with a
dream

Then taking in knowledge about life and
learning about ourselves.

Then exercising and expanding the
imagination.

Then learning to become oblivious to
our surroundings.

Then last is having an appreciation of life.

To write from the heart takes
all of the above.
Leave one out is to be lost
without words.

I feel as though I've been to church and heard the most wonderful sermon. I feel touched by The Spirit, Filled by The Spirit and moved by The Spirit! Amen Amy! Amen! This is bookmarked.

So, true!
Every word of it.
It is important indeed to write from the heart...
And I also believe in the bit about, getting lost and becoming oblivious of the surroundings...
A VERY HONEST WRITE...
