As someone who is drawn to writing, which probably does not come as any surprise if you notice that I write these blog posts daily. I am encouraged by how such a simple form of expression allows me to access my heart.  Writing does come from the head.  I think thoughts and then I type or write them out.  Writing is about using one’s body to give life to an expression of ourselves in a descriptive way.  It is not always easy to know what to say or how to say it.  But if we get caught up in whether or not someone will understand the expression of our hearts, we have lost the point.  Writing enables us to take some of the jumbled thoughts in our heads we are trying to figure out and see them concretely.  Just emptying the mind a little at a time creates more space for us to connect to our hearts.  Some of the noise goes down and we can get in touch with the internal compass that is guiding our pen.  Many great leaders and spiritual teachers have shared their thoughts and ideas through writing.  We benefit when we get to experience someone else’s perspective through the written word.  Someone had to write out the scriptural texts we reference to create an understanding of God. But the most important element of writing is how we get to see ourselves.  Not all writing is necessary to share, but giving ourselves the opportunity to release the thoughts from our head can provide a window for some peace of mind is priceless.  Only when we have some peace of mind can we connect to what our hearts are telling us.
