Navigating Self-Expression Through Writing

I've found real magic in thinking on the page in the last year. I'd love for more people to experience this with me.

"When I sit down to write, the meadow is still engulfed in darkness under a sky where satellites pass by, one after the other. My thoughts are flighty and shapeless, like dreams; they morph as I approach them. But when I open my notebook and write, it is as if I pin my thoughts to the table. I can examine them." - Henrik Karlson
