Beginning the New Year as a Community of Writers
H. Ní Aódagaín
Like many folk, I spent the New Year's weekend among
friends, raising toasts and stating resolutions. As I listened to the writers
in the crowd, a common theme emerged: we each, in our own way, were setting new
goals concerning our writing and making a renewed commitment to the writing
life. These conversations led me to compare the community of writers I belong
to with another community, which exists in the Buddhist tradition, the sangha.
