Visits to my hometown are nostalgic. Memories from childhood come rushing back; long summer days swimming and climbing trees, deep white winter days sledding, and the crisp spring and fall months of school. On one of my recent visits, I walked to the neighborhood where my maternal grandmother lived, past the road that my siblings and I wandered along when we went from our house to Grandmother’s. It is no longer a road, but a path. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or maybe a scene out of The Lord of the Rings.
Writing is sorting. Writing down the stream of consciousness gives us a way to respect the mind, to choose among and harness thoughts, to interact with and change the contents of who we think we are. And that is what the spiritual journey is: a major change, over time, in who we think we are, followed by a corresponding change in what we believe ourselves capable of doing. >>>>>Christine Baldwin Life's Companion: Journal Writing as a Spiritual Quest>>>
