The Solace of Lowered Expectations. Anger and chocolate butter creams. Anger and chocolate butter creams. I’m a long-time advocate of a writing strategy I call “going with the image,” i.e. closing your eyes to see, and then following whatever image your deeper self presents, to find out where it leads.

The Solace of Lowered Expectations. Anger and chocolate butter creams. The Feel Better Book: what to do when you feel overwhelmed. About memoir →. September 13, 2014. We bear the weight of humanity’s stories, compressed and carbonized over time by their sheer mass, transformed into potential energy that smolders like an ember in the heart, a live coal with the possibility of shedding light in a darkened world but also hot as hell and hard to handle.
