Writing and Being Zen

 I’m trying something new these days. It’s actually something I’ve been doing for a while now; I just didn’t know that it coincided with the Zen part of life. I’m trying to find a balance between being a productive writer, a better psychic, and the stillness within. Right now, it might just be knowing that others are doing this as part of their modern-day lives that is helpful.

You know what they say, “Misery loves company”. For some reason, that phrase has been coming back to me often these days. I’m not sure why, other than through my writing, I seek your company. Either you are also interested in writing, and/or you are interested in being or becoming psychic.

Or you are just old like I am.

Each circumstance comes with its own version of pain and of joy. Maybe that’s what they mean. There is a duality in life that happens all the time. Focus on one or the other, but the stillness between, where good becomes bad, and all is right with the world. I guess that’s what I’m trying to see.

I can tell you that if you’ve ever told a story, you are a writer. And, if you’ve ever had a particularly odd thing happen in your life, a thought you don’t know how you thought it, well, you’ve experienced something psychic.

Everybody is psychic. We just sort of forgot how to be that way.

I will sometimes put a short inspirational thing up at the top heading of the documents I use to write my articles. Or, sometimes I just open a blank page. It takes a minute to think of something and then head to the upper part of your page, but something like the following might interest you.

·       *  I seek stillness and calm before I write.
* I am calm before I write.
* I am empty and then full.

You know what doing this feels like to me? It feels like when I try to meditate and everything in the world wants to stand up and be acknowledged in my head before I can get to the open air of a meditation. I find that interesting.

Thanks for reading. Come back for more or check out the other places I write online.
