From The Healing Pen
By Barry Lane

• Much of what we write is the
leaves and stem of the Potato.
• The more we write the more we
learn to search and go deep.

• An unresolved question…
• A memory that asks to be
written about…
• A person, place or event that
has haunted your memory for
years…
• A crazy idea you love to think
about…
• A smell or song that triggers a
thousand memories…
