From The Way of the Fearless Writer, by Beth Kempton

“May you know that the work of the fearless writer

is to see into the heart of being,

to give voice to pain,

to celebrate wonder,

and to stay aware of your connection to everything.

May you show compassion to yourself,

to other writers,

and to your readers

through the words you offer to them.

May the light of creation

brighten your own spirit,

and help you offer hope

to those in darkness.

May you continue to tell

of the remarkable and unremarkable

which make this life,

and see beauty in the ordinary

every single day.”

“Wisdom begins in wonder.”

—Socrates
