"Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?

While the soul, after all, is only a window, and the opening of the window no more difficult than the wakening from a little sleep." ~Mary Oliver

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
Kim E. Morgan

I wait and behold the feather and write. To be heard. Seen. Fully present. To be and become, the wait is a visioning process. A forgotten truth. Defiance. An echo across a chasm, a whisper through a lead mechanical pencil made of plastic. Graphite. Easily erased. Yet a rebellion against silence, the wait is prayer. Wait and write and the weight of a feather is lifted.

Feb 28 - Memoir: Writing with Vulnerability and Creative Courage

The Meaning of "Courage to Tell Your Story"
Vulnerability as Strength: The core idea is that real courage isn't the absence of fear, but the willingness to be vulnerable and share your personal journey, including struggles and imperfections.

Owning Your Narrative: It encourages you to take ownership of your life's narrative rather than letting others define you. When you "own" your story, you gain the power to write a brave new ending.
Connection and Hope: Sharing your story helps build meaningful connections. Your experiences can provide hope and a sense of not being alone to others facing similar challenges. "Your heartache is someone else's hope".

Personal Growth: The process of reflecting on and sharing your story can lead to healing and personal growth. It allows you to transform difficult experiences into a source of strength and resilience.
