Writing The Entrouvert Blog

M. Corsiva is a pen name that comes from a love for the Monotype Corsiva font frequently used in my work. This blog is written as a series of reminders, reinterpretations of sages,  as well as to put into words the teachings, joys, sufferings, and struggles of my own, and those of my fellow travelers.

Sometimes when I write, I just ask: "What do I want to know?"  and the answers come. At other times, I simply narrate the transformations of those I know, in poetry form. This is not my everyday language and the word formations sometimes surprise me. They can be clipped, and abbreviated. Often more heartfelt than the way my ordinary life shows up. 
The words seem to send their own care - especially if you are fond of language. I studied many spiritual paths along the way – and have felt most at home with Advaita Vedanta. When looking for a title for the blog  I came across the French word for ajar, "Entrouvert,"  which expressed this life pretty well. Feel free to comment or email. dagallisone@gmail.com.  I love to hear from readers. Joy to you and best wishes of the season.
