The idea of daily writing and journaling isn’t that it’s all your best work. Indeed, it can’t be.

But there will be highlights. Moments of clarity. Moments of beauty. Moments of understanding.

And that is enough.

The practice helps us to process our thoughts. To understand our thoughts. To collect our thoughts. In a way, to think our thoughts.

We don’t write because we already know. We write because it’s a way toward knowing.
