Write!

The master says: Write! Whether it's a letter, a diary or just some notes as you speak on the telephone – but write! In writing, we come closer to God and to others.

 If you want to understand your role in the world better, write. Try to put your soul in writing, even if no one reads your words – or worse, even if someone winds up reading what you did not want to be read. 

The simple fact of writing helps us to organize our thoughts and see more clearly what is in our surroundings. 

A paper and pen perform miracles – they alleviate pain, make dreams come true and summon lost hope. The word has power.

"The master says: “Make use of every blessing that God gave you today. A blessing cannot be saved. There is no bank where we can deposit blessings received, to use them when we see fit. If you do not use them, they will be irretrievably lost. God knows that we are creative artists when it comes to our lives. On one day, he gives us clay for sculpting, on another, brushes and canvas, or a pen. But we can never use clay on our canvas, nor pens in sculpture. Each day has its own miracle. Accept the blessings, work, and create your minor works of art today. Tomorrow you will receive others.”
