The Writing Selfie

I selfie. Not just pictures. But writing! And it's within those selfie's that I find shock. A lot of new beginnings were talked about before they actually took shape. If more people took the time to write. Like they take pictures. I often wonder if we'd spend less time asking, "What is my purpose?"

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter Twenty

I am a Poet. One that just happens to write in a forest. As of late. I've been called to a circle of trees at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. I never know what I'm going to write. I never know what I've written until we meet in this moment on iHeart Radio.

Beginning Middle Beginning

Too often we put our energized focus on the end rather than the second beginning. Wow... just saying that opens my heart to the idea of. Too many times we realize Jesus is coming a second time without putting focus on the affects of the arrival. In everyday life we want to hurry up and get to the end. Only to realize that there's a revision. We complain about having to take two steps back. Therefore we should train our paths to have a beginning, middle then beginning. I don't believe in ends.

I have to know the inner soul of what's going to carry my thoughts onto the playing field of a physical presence. But on this day. I challenged myself to use any damn pen. Just to see if such an object would create a reason for my creative self to go silent.

Doubting The Doubter To Create Mood Swings

I write each day at 5:30. Some might call me insane. And yet I know for a fact that the desire to be creative actually started 4.5 hours earlier. How often do you shove aside a hidden desire for such a long period of time? By the time I roll out of bed and put a writing instrument in my hand. That creative side of my personality is upset. It had to wait a very long time to dump thoughts onto a page. And with that creative mind he's got a bully for a buddy. The Doubter...

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter Nineteen

I am a Poet. One that happens to write in a forest. As of late. I've been called to sit within a collection of trees at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. In Chapter Nineteen. We begin by talking about the way we walk. We lean. Why do we lean? What is it that we're dodging?
