Your inner story shapes your voice, choices, and creative direction.

A personal myth is the inner story a writer uses to make sense of their creative life. It gives direction, meaning, and emotional coherence.

WildWords – Lord of the Flies

The flies come first
as rumor,

black letters of punctuation
in the cellar air,

small restless witnesses
to what I have not buried.

They find the hidden place
before I do,

the sweetness gone sour,
the secret body
given back to its elements.

I thought death
would announce itself
with trumpets,

or thunder,

or at least
a proper lament.

But here it is
in wings,

in the frantic scripture
of a thousand tiny bodies

writing circles
around the bulb.

Lord of the flies,
lord of the unclean corners,
lord of what ripens
when I refuse to look,

you do not create the death.

You only reveal it.

You rise from the wound
and make it audible.

You gather
where something has ended
and been left unnamed.

So I stand in the basement
with paper strips hanging
like sad yellow prayers,

with poison in the air,
with a broom in my hand,

and I know
this is not only about flies.

Something in me
has also gone untended.

Some old grief
has softened in the dark.

Some resentment
has been born in bitter warmth.

Some fear
has bred in the damp boxes
of the soul.

And the outer world,
faithful as a mirror,
begins to reflect what is within.

The dead thing calls forth wings.

The buried thing
becomes a cloud.

Lord above,
but Lord beneath even this,

teach me to descend
without disgust,

to find what has died,
to name it,
to remove it,

to open the window
where I can,

to let the clean wind
do its slow ministry.

For even the fly
is a witness,

even decay
is a kind of bell,

even infestation
can become annunciation

if it leads me
to the hidden corpse,

if it leads me
to the truth,

if it leads me
at last

to bury what is dead
and bless what still
wants to live.

What is the Meaning of Life? 5/10 There’s a name for the quiet emptiness: acedia. Not despair—just a dullness of the soul. A life that looks complete, but feels disconnected. 🌫️ #Acedia #EmotionalHealth #InnerLife

Directed an #acting #coaching client to do a very specific thing for a take, and we learned the direction was way outside the bounds of the material, which clarified, somehow concretely, an inner layer that was not what we had thought it was. Then we discovered new pieces we hadn't found before.

Cafh: Let’s always remember that, no matter how broad our knowledge, and how accurate our judgments, there is always something we don’t know and that could overturn or reverse our view of things.
Recordemos siempre que, por más amplio que sea nuestro conocimiento y acertados nuestros juicios, siempre hay algo que no conocemos y que podría trastocar o revertir nuestra visión de las cosas.
