Within the journey I began writing differently with a perspective emerging that seemed outside of my waking, conscious mind. What came forward was compelling and inspired me with a renewed urgency.
Automatic writing and drawing have a long history as an art form and as techniques for stimulating creativity dating back to the mid 1800’s. Prior to beginning the walking meditation I had been doing automatic drawings. An outgrowth of a surrealist parlor game which we played as children, I began to apply a blind technique of call and response to the writing.
