An eye dropper each a day can fill a glass of water in a week. Slow and steady. This is how the nervous system works.
Do not expect spiritual growth to happen overnight although occasionally it can happen that way.
But when at last I wrote my first words on the page, I felt an island rising beneath my feet like the back of a whale. As more and more words emerged, I could finally rest: I had a place to stand for the first time in my life. The island grew, with each page, into a continent inhabited by people I knew and mapped with the life I lived.
