Write from the Heart: A Method that Probes Your Depths BY MARCIA MARINER W hen I was a child, I grew up on a farm. There were no neighbors, and I often spent hours outside roaming the fields and riding my bike. As soon as I was old enough, I learned the power of putting pen to paper. I remember taking my pen and notebook outside and writing love letters, poetry and whatever else I felt like creating. I didn’t realize it then, but I know now that the minute I put pen to paper, it grounded me to my Source. I felt an immediate feeling of coming home to myself and my breathing would deepen as it does right now as I write this. This experience led me to develop a love for the sacred tool of writing just because, just for the fun of it. I write for no other reason but to feel the words flowing out of me from some invisible realm within me. I have always kept a journal, and, when I was in college, I took classes in composition and journaling. My writing was still a haven of creativity 60 www.AspireMAG.net | October / November 2017
