Anytime, Anyplace Expertise (10 Min)
A Pre-Writing meditation for Black Writers in Recovery
Welcome, wise friends.
Before the words flow, before the story takes shape, there is a space of deep breath, presence, and remembrance. This pre-writing meditation, shared in the June 1, 2025 gathering of Black Writers in Recovery, is an invitation to return to the expertise that already lives within you.
Through breath and stillness, we open to our own radiant darkness, a place of self-appreciation and creativity, where words rise like mist, root like seeds, and burn with the quiet heat of memory. Sankofa reminds us: what we reach for is already within. This meditation guides you to touch that truth and write from a place unconquered, uncontrolled, unsilenced.
Any time, any place. Our expertise is neither conditional nor situational, nor does it require permission from those around us. Our voice is already whole, neither waiting for fine-tuning nor needing further training to speak from authenticity in any moment to any audience. We may and must trust emergence and honor presence, allowing our words to radiate from deep inner knowing.
We do not write alone. The spirit of Sankofa, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the echoes of those who have spoken before us are ever-present. They walk with us, shaping our words, carrying our stories, guiding us back to what has always been ours.
May this offering nourish your creative spirit as you step into the fullness of your voice.
Peace & Blessings,
