Book Release
But not the kind you think
My current book, Soul Writing: Connecting to Essence has had to come out of circulation. Read more, if you’d like, about how this came to pass.
Once I knew the book could no longer exist in its current form, I was moved to spend some time with it—work through it, read it, write the prompts—which I’d actually never done myself. It felt like I was honoring it somehow—kind of like sitting at the bedside of a dying loved one. What do you have to say, I wanted to know, about what your life has been? What do you want me to remember? What do you already know about where you are headed?
And it certainly revealed things. It actually told me how it wanted to be laid to rest: by being given away, chapter by chapter, to whomever can benefit from it.
So for the next little while, that’s what I’ll be doing.
It feels like a way of composting the book, or giving it a gentle sky burial: laying it somewhere beautiful and allowing it to feed whoever is in the vicinity—as well as to nourish whatever is coming next.
The plan is to release a chapter a week here, in between continuing to feature the astounding 8-Minute Essays born of the process formerly known as Soul Writing —which, mind you, is going nowhere. It’ll just be called by a different name: one that will reveal itself in time.
For now, I hope you will enjoy, share, and start—or keep!—writing.
