Writing as Zen...

Writing a blog is like holding space for zen meditation. You select a time of day perhaps everyday or once a week. You put out your cushion and if you have another you put that out too. There is no announcement or advertising, just the thought, the effort and the sitting....
Some of the best writing just comes off the top of your head...like drops of rain dripping down your forehead and off your nose when walking out of doors without your coat...same with sitting...and if you sit long enough someone shows up...could be a friend...could be you in another time...could be imagination or fantasy...could be the truth...whether you are ready or not...to sit...to write...
