" Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break and in all earnestness." and fits for my work as a writer and my work WITH writers as well.<br /><br />My children have learned to sit at the kitchen table with me while I am doing my writing practice. It is the one time they wait quietly. How I love that they have learned this from my gentle insistence that sometimes, words, letters, writing... something other than them... needed my attention, too.<br /><br />THANK YOU, Lis, for a beautiful reminder.Julie Jordan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558015761690505791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-86042239004520287992010-02-21T13:55:18.722-06:002010-02-21T13:55:18.722-06:00Hi, I found you through the Art Journal Love Lette...Hi, I found you through the Art Journal Love Letters Lovlies and this post is amazing.<br />what a beautiful child you have, what a wonderful sense of motherhood and the sheer question of trying to live an authentic life. My own yoga practice waxes and wanes, but is always there in the background, and I have found that trying to be creative in some form every day is my meditation.<br />I read back some of your other posts and the poetry is amazing too.

I always thought I was just a step ahead also.Milenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257728004884944098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-29937040933575874652010-02-19T12:39:33.557-06:002010-02-19T12:39:33.557-06:00Oh, Lis - This is dynomite!

Part of my grieving over my mother's alzheimer's now is seeing her 'fixed' mindset, which has been pretty much lifelong and never served her well, is essentially now insurmountable.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881841332742313126noreply@blogger.com
