Writing can be a daily chore.

If it's something I have to do.

Writing can be a daily joy.

If it's something I get to do.

Which one am I choosing today?

Which one am I a student of?

A teacher of?

"Get to."

I open my journal and write something.

The great principle of showing up.

A labor of love.

I say nothing.

I just write.

That is the way I cultivate creativity.

Show up.

Do something.

Grow.

Hard work?

Yes.

Joyful work?

Definitely.

Poetry of the soul.
