A beautifully reflective piece, Terje. I love how you honor the beginner truth—that writing isn’t just persistence, but passion, perception, and the courage to be honest on the page♥️🙏🕊️

Thank you. I realize that as a beginner I was eager to try to live by the words of experts and it was only when I let go of my desire to be like them, I found my way and rhythm.

Letting go of desires with the intention to lessen suffering is a very Buddhist practice - and I love how in this case it also led to you connecting with your own voice, your own way and rhythm. Brava Terje✨🌟💖🙏🕊️
