Full Moon

Cleaning off my desk today for the full moon, I found this letter from a friend:

“Just for today remember that words are something you have inherited.  Lead with your desire to honor those who came before you.  Think of writing as an act of love.  Know that you are capable of a lot of love – in words, in silences, on and off the page.  But today, focus on how love affects what you write.”
