Wrote this 20 years ago. It’s from, “Landscaping”—a book I wrote when I started to learn that little, every day things are what create our lives—memories—and they are what last. #WritingLife #memoir #nonfiction #creativewriting power and energy thecrookedsteeple.com/2025/08/12/pow…

It will end by its own volition. We’ll hit a wall. Slip down a hole. Get zapped up to the sky. Or put our heads to the pillow and stay there in perpetual sleep. And all of it is okay, and good, and exactly what we deserve... thecrookedsteeple.com/2025/08/07/bub… #WritingCommunity #journaling

We write, and for us, it's marriage. We love and are loyal to a fault. And the words we put together are our children. We feed them. Nurture them. Help them grow strong. Then we send them into the world, hoping they’ll stand on their own. ~ KJ #WritingCommunity #writerslife
