Making the World Our Own

March 12, 2018

"We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others.  An interpreted world is not home.  Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light." 

- Hildegard von Bingen

How does writing (or any art-making) help us engage with this "terror . . . to take back our own listening . . . our own voice . . . our own light"?

What practices do you have for owning your own voice?
