WRITING AS A KIND OF SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

 

Definition:

spiritual practice or spiritual discipline (often including spiritual exercises) is the regular or full-time performance of actions and activities undertaken for the purpose of inducing spiritual experiences and cultivating spiritual development.


This calls for defining “spiritual,” so here’s an attempt from me —

Spiritual: Relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.


There’s no question that, for me, writing is a spiritual practice.

Amen! Marriage, motherhood, and writing were all instrumental in bringing me to our Lord and continue to draw me closer to Him.

May your writing continue to bless you. I know it has blessed many others.

Indeed. Writing fulfills something in me that can only be called spiritual.
