The Spontaneous Writing Circle is a peer-led group in The Mystery School.
In timed sessions, a member will read a poem or excerpt of prose after which the group write what's present to each of them, unedited and uncensored. The intention is to have the words appear while any effort to create them is surrendered. Each person then reads their writing to each other, and no critique is offered. This absence of distinctions and value judgments has created an open and lively space of ease, appreciation and creativity and a constant experience of wonder. This piece was written in one of these circles.
It’s occurred to me that Mostafa is following a most unpredictable path in buying this piece of land.
The scruffiness of it.
The stubborn thorns, weed trees,
and the land’s selfish possession of them.
We came back after four months and all that we had cleared , reappeared…
doing what farmers do …over and over
season after season –
taming the untameable.
Him, growing up in the old Medina
where nothing grew but pots of herbs struggling under the sun All the people…swarms of them…
were what needed tending.
Our land brings adventure and the steadiness of care that our lives were lived for –
The inner soul of us.
