“We write for practice. 

We write to remember. 

Neither one seems very much like noise to me.”

This feels like a pregame pep talk in all the best ways.

“And even when we do, can, will ourselves to pay attention, there are simply too many moments to keep them all contained and ordered for easy recollection.” 😭😭 Going to from my car (rainy morning) to my desk, pick up the pen and write... thank you, Sonya. 💛

I love this reminder. Often I reread something I wrote and don’t recognize it at all. Who wrote this? Such a special way to hold onto memories and how they change over time.

My writing practice is a lot of screeching and scratching. 😆 Love the stories here. And if I hadn’t already taken this workshop, I would be signing up!

I love that writing can be shared or kept private in a journal but that either way, we should write if it is in us! Love this 💛

I’ve been waiting to read this story since we talked about it at the retreat. I’m so glad you wrote it ❤️ Your call to write was so encouraging to me to me today. Here’s to writing, practicing, remembering.
