Our lesson in practical philosophy this past week touched on the aspects of action. I have applied some of these concepts to our writing practice. I hope you find it useful.

All writing should start and end in stillness.

Your writing should have good intention and should be sustained through discipline and love. It takes patience to see the task through. This becomes particularly difficult when writers' block sets in, but that is where patience and discipline are required.

Most importantly, when your writing is complete, surrender it. Do not feel good or bad about it, just let it be. Remember for whatever you write there will be a reader and someone that will appreciate it.

So stillness and good intention put you in a creative space.

Discipline and love help you sustain your writing and patience leads you to surrendering your writing without judgement and returning to stillness.
