is the safe place
I want
also the prison
that will keep me
from True Freedom?

writing inner art

May 12, 2014 Comments Off on writing inner art

Our practice, as writers and beings seeking self-discovery, is to notice moments of insight and articulate those moments. It is difficult for unarticulated perception to be sustained. What distinguishes the writers that we choose to represent in Inner Art is their effort to achieve both beauty and clarity.

To advance our own practice, the editors, including myself, and several like-minded writers have developed a writing group. During this group we share our work, and explore the themes that emerge to advance both art and perception. Our international group functions quite well with some of us joining the meeting via Skype, while others are here in person.

At some future date, if there is enough interest, I will form a second Inner Art writing group. If you are interested, note that with your submissions and I will contact you as the group forms
