"The moment I walked into the    Writing Hal I knew I had come home." 
 - Kathy Wade

An evening of intention and intimacy; where else does this happen in my life?                   -Carolyn Brookbank

Thich Nhat Hahn said, "when the Buddha returns to the earth she may come not in an individual body, but in the form of community."  I feel her presence here.     
- Susan Glassmeyer

 

I am inspired to write by the courage that other women have in their writing.  My first term in WWF(a) C, I wrote my best after Barbara Tonne read a piece about her father and the accident that changed her family forever.  Because she could name this story, and bravely sing parts of it, I wanted to share a part of my story in words as compelling and beautiful.  last term my best writing was inspired by Robyn Breiman's reading a series of pieces in response to a number of prompts we had both shared.  In listening t Robyn, I realized I had missed opportunities to create beauty.  I am sure I had good reasons, week after week, not to write.  But they weren't as good as the work Robyn produced.  Because of her reading, I knew I could share another piece of my own story in the group.

It is not a competitive thing, this group, I do not hear another's words and think. "I can do better."  I hear others' words and feel an energy which flows as a benediction on the group.  Each woman's act of bravery stimulates another writer.  This energy is completely unpredictable, but as real as any other force in my writing.

The group also forms a receptacle for receiving words.  So often I write of things I think of as unimportant.  but I can bring those writings here, and there is a welcome for it.  This is incredibly empowering.

- Sandra Grady

My great passion in this life is to write.  I write in my daily journal and my dream journal.  I write essays on my computer, letters to my daughter, e-mails to family and friends around the world.  And for most of my life, I felt guilty taking the time away from my other responsibilities to write.  by becoming a part of the writing community here at WWF (a) C I have found justification for putting my words onto paper.  My efforts here are honored and respected; and I know that I am among many others who also struggle to find a place in their busy lives for their writing.  Within the circle of our writing we share friendship and the honesty of our words.  Here I feel an energy that assures me that I am truly alive when I write.
