Memories 101

The poet T.S. Eliot has written "The river is within us."               

I use writing as a reflective tool, a problem-solving tool, and a creative expression. As I refined my own writing, I developed the ways to help others find "the river" within themselves.

Capturing memories is a source of joy for some writers; but for other writers, the recording of memories is an act of courage. Those who sort through their memories and express them in writing are beginning an important journey. Some take that journey to reach clarity for themselves;others leave the result of their journey for posterity.

 Again, T.S. Eliot says it well:

"We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time."

Read my books, and call upon me if we can travel a road or two together on that important journey.
