Through stories, readings, and suggested writing and contemplative activities, The Pen and the Bell: Mindful Writing in a Busy World guides you in finding the time and space for creativity in the midst of everyday life. "Strictly speaking, this isn't a book, it's a beautiful, quiet path into the deep woods of contemplative practice through the medium of the written word. Yes, reading its chapters will delight you. Yes, listening to these two wise women talk quietly about their lives and their writing process is a sweet and effortless reading experience that will make you feel as if you are sitting across from them, a cup of tea in front of you, hearing the measure and lilt of their kindly, honest voices." Norman Fischer, from the Foreword to The Pen and the Bell
