Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1243 - #WritetheFuture
22 Jun, 2026
WRITE THE FUTURE
"Writing is medicine. It's an appropriate antidote to injury. It is an appropriate companion to any difficult change."
Julia Cameron
"I'm trying with all my heart to write the stories I need to hear, the stories younger me needed like air."
Mishka Hoosen
"I write to live. To breathe through the ache, to process the unbearable, to carve light into memory. My pen is my spine, my page the heartbeat. I write to exist wholly; raw, real, and still rising."
Vennie Kocsis
Write to know yourself
(and if you write by hand
and don't lift that hand up off the paper,
you will deeply surprise yourself at all you may discover).
Write to remember
(and to share with others your singular journey).
Write to process what has been--
not to give it more power,
but greater understanding
and less unconscious control.
Write to discover
what is inside you.
Write to create
what never has been.
Write to have hope,
to believe in progress,
in justice and equity,
for tomorrow
for you, your community, our
country,
the world.
When times are confounding, complicated,
and there is much to fear,
write your way through to
another way.
Write what has been.
Write what is.
Write what is possible.
Write the future.
