Writing, Like Water

You know how when you turn on your faucet sometimes the water comes out murky at first before it flows clear?

Writing can be like that.

Some of what you write will be garbage — the unpalatable funk that’s been stuck in the plumbing.

Some of what you write will be insightful, even brilliant — like clear water flowing from a divine tap.

The writing that is clear and flowing — some of this is meant for you to drink yourself, to quench your thirst for self-knowledge, direction, and soul-guidance.

And some of it is meant for you to decant into a golden goblet and share with those who can benefit from your wisdom.
