Honesty gives us wings

Postcard May 2024. Downtime speaks out.

What is beautiful is realising that we all see something in a different light.

If we go somewhere to write where we won’t get interrupted we will find light. The more often we do it the more the self reveals.

Tap in. Unravel the words onto the page.

Check it. Leave it. Come back to it. See how the paint dried. Edit.

We can leave the pieces on a chest board, have a break, let the coffee go cold. Then pick up the game and discover you even have a couple of new moves.

An extra paragraph. A little twist. A peppering of irony. More spice, extra colour. Honesty gives us wings. Write from the heart. Rise up, see how it feels to fly.

‘Wings’ by Pipp inspired by writers inspiring me

Thank you for looking in. I wrote this piece originally some while ago and when I reread it, it made me feel the energy I get from writing. Writing and photography. Music too. They make my life feel as if I am filling up the whole space of me, right up to the very corners.

Wishing you a good weekend, fellow writers and readers.

And on talking about filling life up to the brim, I loved this alive piece, about the very beauty of imperfection, from Emily.
