She Will Not Be Quiet: A (mostly unedited) daily writing practice

Jotting from my journal…. Day #57 of daily writing/sharing

Enough

I'm tired tired tired 
of reaching 
for some secret solution—

eat this way and you'll lose ten pounds fast, 
use this skincare and you will look ten
years younger, 

write in just that way 
and you can finally 
call yourself a writer, 

pray this way and you'll go 
to heaven, that way and 
you'll burn forever in hell.
 
No wonder 
we are all 
so damn tired.

	Enough.

Let's 
keep it simple, 
shall we? 

Quiet the noise. Turn toward all 
that is whispering
and warring inside. 

Be the very best friend 
to your wise heart. Let 
it whisper the way. Always.

Ask:

Does it feel like song? Like 
sky? Like a smile 
you can't hold back? Like love?

Then, step that way. Listen,
then step again.
