Samples of poetry, short stories, fables, epistles, fiction, flash fiction, and creative non-fiction are available under their respective subcategories. Non-fiction samples include memoirs, technical writing, essays, articles, and travel posts. All creative writing and non-fiction posts express my process of becoming.

 

Practice any art. Write poetry, prose, fiction, fables, creative non-fiction, essays, articles, or memoir. Play music, sing, or dance—Sculpt from mud, paper, wood, metal, or stone. Paint your heart out. Splash the world with your colors. Take photographs of landscapes, light, thunder, villages, children, wrinkled hands, and ancient temples. Practice yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong, meditate, build airplanes from wood, whistle, bake pies, laugh your heart out, or chant from your viscera.

​

Whatever you do, savor each moment as you experience your process of becoming and unleash the potential within you. Feed the inner glow. Trust your gut and be open to the fluidity of the cosmos. In the process, find your true essence, your inner Muse.

 

When you fully and joyfully embrace your inner Muse, you learn to speak the language of the universe, possibility. I aim to inspire you to tap into the inner shore where everything you dare to imagine ebbs and flows.

​

With love and gratitude,
