The benefits of writing by Beverley Beck
For me, jotting thoughts down on a piece of paper or in a notebook and leaving these thoughts to marinate before returning to them to read, think about and edit is revealing, creative and positive. Whilst writing my mind is focused. This is relaxing and it helps. It is a stability in a difficult and challenging world. I love words, their sounds and rhythms, the way they hang together like a washing line of thought. The mind and memories are treasures even if they become jumbled. I hope you enjoy my poem beneath:
Listen to life
Hold hands
With the moment
Release memories
Stored deep
Dance in the woodland
Of your mind
Find your feet
