Writing for Your Life: Discovering the
Story of Your Lifes Journey by Deena
Metzger
Wonderful For Teens!
Writing for Your Life is an inspiring companion for any writer, professional
or personal, who sees writing as a spiritual act. Early chapters on
creativity and story would appeal to anyone interested in breaking through
self-imposed boundaries, by encouraging the writer to set yourself the
task to write not only what you know but more especially what you dont
know. Weve all heard this before, but Deena Metzger (A Sabbath Among
the Ruins) provides such resonant anecdotes and enticing exercises that
it begins to seem not only doable but fun. Even when writing about
ourselves or an event that we know well, she says, we sometimes find
that the story ... is taking a direction we never expected. As it is always
possible to come back to the known, it is politic, under these
circumstances, to see where the story wants to go. Later chapters help
writers access their inner worlds through meditation, spirit guides,
mythology, tarot cards, the muse, visions, nature, and dreams. To follow

Metzgers book closely requires a great deal of hard but rewarding, work.
Maintaining a spiritual practice is an ordeal like climbing a mountain,
Metzger warns, and it demands the same of us: commitment, discipline,
endurance, focus, and awareness. There at the top is the sky and,
perhaps, the large vision, but ultimately the meaning is in the climbing.
