Create

I just read that Hannah at Grace Ceremonies is devoting more time to writing. She officiated at a wedding for friends of my son and we have referred to each other. A kindred spirit. 

The energy of creating is strong right now. Some of my own longing is for creative expression. Writing ceremonies has always been a creative endeavor. As I tell couples I have templates but no cookie cutter boilerplates for my ceremonies. Your unique combination, the setting and the words you say about each other, the way you are with one another, sets the tone for me. Poems and readings come to mind as I get to know the couple sometimes very intuitively. 

 I have this niggling need to expand and expound on a variety of subjects. I have this idea encapsulated by the expression Save Cursive One Letter at a TIme. As Julia Cameron, the author of the Artist Way, encourages creative expression she instructs those of us who love to write to use pen and paper or even pencil so erusure is possible. But here I am writing on a blog but I will spend at least an hour each day putting a  favorite pen to pretty paper in one of three journals. And send off a letter or two to my various pen-pals. So old school rusticated.
