"Writing is medicine.
It is an appropriate antidote to injury.

Kate’s Turn:
I have had more than my share of injury and change in 2021, due to multiple medical challenges the past 6 months. And I have received medicine of all sorts, both the traditional kinds, such as surgery, pain relievers and physical therapy, and the non-traditional medicines of qigong healing, prayers, visits, greeting cards, flowers, laughter and backyard beauty. Throughout, writing has been my soul medicine, a repository for emotions, dreams and reflections, a time of communion with my own journeying self through this passage. It has grounded me, centered me in my still point, the here and now, where I connect with Source energy, good medicine for my own unfolding, strengthening me back to wellness and good health.

“Be. Here. This moment. Now is all there is, don’t go seeking another. Discover the sacred in your artist’s tools; they are the vessels of the altar of your own unfolding.” Christine Valters Paintner, PhD (The Artist’s Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul with Monastic Wisdom)
