“The writing became so fluid that I sometimes felt as if I were writing for the sheer pleasure of telling a story, which may be the human condition that most resembles levitation.”

This was lovely, Sandy. Some of the best and most honest of all I have read of yours. I’m going to follow this blog more often, now. Don’t want to miss a one of these.
What a beautiful quote, Sandy. I believe the same could be said of the feeling of reading fluid writing. I think I’ll pin this above my writing desk. Thank you, and see you in April for Mystica Writing Retreat.
Amen.
Get levitating my friend…
