I found this post through your online course and I'm so glad I did. I took note of my longing and I'm going to do something about it. It's great to see more enriching writing online and across the world.
Thank you for this inspirational essay. I feel grateful to have found you on this app. You were the first author I discovered and I feel drawn to your words. I have been searching for and have found my passion in life. Writing. It has been a solace for me for many years. Now I can reflect and express myself in a way I couldn’t before. Soul Circle is the perfect place for me. This winter writing sanctuary awakened a part of me that aims to write the five books that are in my head.
"If you could describe your longing - your divine discontent - in three words, what they be, I wonder?" I would put in would if I could, but I can't. You could and can and should. :)
As a Substack newbie I'm digging around, finding what resonates with me, and I found this lovely essay. I too am feeling both "blessed and overworked" and as a writer a few years on the other side of 50, looking to craft a business that allows as much life as possible. This essay will give me something to think about, to chew on for a good while. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful words, thank you. My words are; Nourish, Pace, Notice. Like you, I endeavour to lead a life where the wonders are integrated, not separate. That is work in itself, taking everything at a calm pace. I am looking forward to the summer writing sanctuary having loved the winter edition. I wholeheartedly support the Soul Circle concept which I will join in coming weeks, at the right pace!
Of course, the author of Wabi Sabi is on the back cover of Julia Cameron’s newest book💙 You are such an inspiration Beth! Both you and Julia Cameron have had an extraordinary impact on my life💙 Thank you💙
I havnt written anything for years. I havnt even thought about doing it if im honest. Then grief consumed me and i have been stagnant in a bubble of numbness. Lost. A month ago i picked up a notebook and pen and wrote a poem about her. It released the block and helped me to begin to feel, grieve and process my loss. I forgot how much i enjoyed it and the pride once a piece is complete. It was raw. Unapoligetic. Honest. It was therapy. My rambles might not be eliquant or pieced together in a structured way. But it feels like im being called to explore writing further and begin a journey to see where it takes me. Then maybe just maybe il be a little less lost.

This is beautiful. You are so very generous with your ideas and how you come to think about things. I'm on FIRE with all the inspiration!
Such a beautiful, honest essay.
