“I’ve been writing poetry or whatever it is since I was five or six years old, and I couldn’t stop, I never could stop. I don’t know why I did it.… It was like a stream that went along beside me, you know, my life went along here, and I got married and had three kids and did all the things you have to do, and all along the time this stream was going along. And I really didn’t know what it was saying. It just talked to me, and I wrote it down. So I can’t even take much credit for it.”

-Ruth Stone

‪Your soul is always communicating with you. It tells you where it wants to go by making you aware of your interests, your desires, and what feels good to you. Follow your passions. When something stops bringing you joy, stop doing it. Shift and flow like the water.‬
