   Liminal Writing: Inspired by Dr Martin Luther King Jr's "...never lose infinite hope"

   In honour of Black History Month, Ces and Lee reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s timeless reminder: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” What unfolds is tender, honest, and unexpectedly uplifting. The episode begins in a place many of us recognize — weary, overwhelmed, quietly questioning what “infinite hope” can possibly mean in the midst of seemingly unrelenting struggles. For Ces, it is the memory of a muddy walk in Cambodia, Birkenstocks caked in clay. Children laughing as they wash in a river. In that simple, human moment — joy rising from hardship — hope reveals itself not as grand or abstract, but alive and embodied. Lee’s reflection lifts the lens wider. Hope becomes a banner held high through despair. A nation wrapped in love, freedom, and equality. Drawing on Dr. King’s enduring perseverance, Lee imagines hope strong enough to outlast the “sentinels of despair” and steady enough to guide us forward. Together, they reflect on how the writing practice itself surprised them — how, even in exhaustion, more words came. More truth surfaced. They speak candidly about aging, about diminished energy, about the heartbreak of seeing hard-won rights challenged or rolled back. And yet, beneath it all, there is resolve: to redefine their roles within communities that stand for democracy and human dignity. To use creative practice as a way to hold frustration and conviction in the same breath. This episode is a gentle companion for those feeling tired but unwilling to give up, to always carry the hope for a better tomorrow as Dr. King did. 00:08 Intro to Liminal Writing process and the inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 00:44 Ces’ Writing 02:45 Lee’s Writing 03:51 Debrief: Where the Writing Landed (The Other Side Is Better) 05:08 Storytime: Muddy Roads, Birkenstocks & Kids in the River 06:27 Aging, Activism & Pushback: Redefining Our Roles Now 08:12 Closing Thoughts: Creative Writing as a Way to Hold on to Hope #LiminalWriting, #CreativeWriting, #WritingWithFriends, #WildMindWriting, #MLK, #BlackHistoryMonth, #DrMartinLutherKingJr, #infinitehope, #CesMillado, #LeeMoran, #poetry, #prose,

   Liminal Writing: Inspired by a line from “A Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life”

   In this session of Liminal Writing, Ces and Lee reflect on their practice of 10-minute timed writing sessions inspired by various quotes. They talk about starting this practice of writing together during the pandemic lockdown and discuss its impact on their lives. They take inspiration from a line from 'A Lion Tracker's Guide to Life' by Boyd Varty - “To stand your ground means to disrupt the hard wiring in the creator's instinctual makeup. They are used to things running away.” They share personal reflections triggered by this quote, drawing connections to experiences and memories - remembering afternoons winnowing rice in the Philippines, to an unforgettable sight while on safari in Nairobi. The session emphasizes the importance of writing as a means of introspection and invites listeners to try this practice for themselves. 00:23 Reflecting on Past Writing Sessions 01:23 The Inspiration - The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life 03:24 Ces’ Writing 05:05 Lee’s Writing 05:40 Discussion on why their pieces came out as such 09:39 An Invitation to create - the liminal writing way 10:28 Wrap up #LiminalWriting, #CreativeWriting, #WritingWithFriends, #WildMindWriting, #CesMillado, #LeeMoran, #poetry, #prose, #BoydVarty, #LionTrackersGuidetoLife, #Liontracking, #lifelessons, #winnowing
