Always we hope
someone else has the answer.
Some other place will be better,
some other time it will all turn out.
—Lao Tzu
And we tell ourselves that we’ll just finish up the dishes in the sink; send out that last email; run to the store for who knows what; say just the right thing to a partner, a kid, a boss; re-vamp the outline. Then, we’ll sit down and write. Lao Tzu tells us more:
This is it
No one else has the answer.
No other place will be better,
and it has already turned out.
So here you are – in this place, with the answers you need, and the writing that already exists and waits for you to begin. Your prompt is: I begin.
Please send me what follows your beginning and I’ll publish it next week. Thank you, m
