How Does Writing Help You Come Home?
When you’re not sure
how you are
where you are
or where to go next—
You can come to the page
solely for the purpose
of calling your own name.
Dear One,
Beloved,
Sweet Child of Life Itself—
Have you forgotten
that your home is inside you?
You might start like that.
A simple call
Then wait for the response—
Wait till you hear your Self
call back.
And why is it so important
to come home?
To be able to call your self
back home,
in this way, with your own hand,
on your own page?
Because so many forces
will pull you away
from yourself
from your center
from the core
where you know
the name of
your own truth.
And if you lose
your own center
you lose touch
with what you know.
But when you start there
Return there
Live there—
You are free.
It’s a moment by moment
invitation
to come to the page
to call your own name
to see what’s stirring
in the center of your own life.
When you live there
In the center
All things are possible
A thousand languages
for magic
will take your hand.
All you need is one.
The one language
that dwells inside you.
The one you write
Because only you
can speak those words
And when you find them
and write them
You’re connected
to every person
in the world
who has a voice.
The more you call yourself home
the more at home you are
in the world.
You strengthen
every utterance
and turn it into a prayer.
A sacred call
for every soul
to come home.
A sacred call
to your own soul
to come home.
This is what can happen
When you sit down
Pen in hand
And call your own name.
It’s never too late
you’re never too far gone
The part of you that knows
always knows
how to come home
Let your writing
be the key
to open the door
Try it today, this week:
sit down with your pen,
write a letter to your own soul,
ask any question you have
listen deeply
to the response.
