If you have never experienced the practice
of daily journaling, give it a try. I highly recommend it.

a friend with whom to share your troubles, fears, hopes, and dreams.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

In many instances an ordered external structure
can be an invitation for an extraordinarily unfettered,
creative and unbounded inner structure.
