Over a dozen years ago I held the notion that "there's nothing to write." Why? When one does due diligence (research, study, more research and related study) most of what's written was written in some form or fashion long ago.

One day a dozen years ago along came - out of complete happenstance - a published author on the very day I pondered the vision received in a powerful meditation. The vision? Me being a celebrated author. Author of? Had no idea.

Short story - when I shared my notion mixed with my recent vision with a notable published author, the author smiled and asked me:

"Have you ever had someone in your close circle who you've given them advice when they actually asked for your advice. Once they received your advice they promptly let it go. Then - that same person - was given the same advice from an absolute complete stranger. Your close friend ate it up. Your close friend believed this stranger walked on water. Your close friend both listened to and acted on the complete strangers advice."

With a glowing rouge of chagrin on my face I responded, "Yes. I have experienced such a person - many times."

The stranger / published author then said, "True much of what's written is the fruit of prior prose. Yet each author is unique such that their energy - similar to a key to a lock - unlocks understanding in only a way their energy provides. Meaning, you can write word for word - words already written. Millions may say, 'Yes, so." Millions will also say, "WOW! I've heard that before, now I understand."

Completely pulled the rug from under my feet (procrastination) from writing / publishing. Three books published. Six to go!

Thanks for the follow. I look forward to savoring your wisdom.
