About this listen
I went looking for one bird on an early morning beach walk... I found a different one. And somehow, it taught me far more than the bird I was chasing.
Last week, I wondered whether a trip away from home might leave me without words. Without the familiar inspiration of my known surroundings. Not just writer’s block. But writer’s drought.
Instead, the trip handed me the story.
Sometimes, what we’re looking for isn’t found by chasing. It’s found by showing up, paying attention, and letting the moment arrive on its own.
What happens when you stop rushing the moment…and let it come to you?
Interestingly, the story was swirling around in my notebook for 20 days, I just needed to turn to the page to see it. On January 7th I wrote: “You don’t find the thing by chasing it. You find it by being present when it arrives.” January 28th, the story finally surfaced. Here is the companion piece I wrote a few years back.
