Staying There
It seems I am wanting to post something today, but my mind doesn’t settle down long enough to think a complete thought. This is the exact reason I started this blog. I needed a place to put my thoughts, a place to sort through all of the gunk each day throws at me and I needed to filter through that stuff and write down all the good things that resonate. Well, here I am tonight much like I began trying to sort through this day. I am back at work now so everything has changed for me. I had such a rich summer in terms of time to create and now I am away from home, away from my paints and my keyboard, for 8 hours a day and it seems my right brain has been injected with some sort of numbing agent. Therefore, I am feeling a strong desire to write something, anything that is artistically generated. I would like to say that while I was “away” my moonflower finally grew up enough to bloom. I have been waiting all summer for this and it has happened.
I would like to also make note of the way I felt for just a moment after work today. I went into the “front room” of my house and sank into the comfort of the couch there and just sat in stillness and looked at all of the memories in that room and I thought of Christmases there and my mother reading The Polar Express to my kids and I thought of early spring and opening the windows and hearing the world wake up, my world, the one here at home, the best place. Anyway, that old sofa felt so good to lie on and that old room felt so wonderful to remember in. I feel a bit better now, I feel as though I have stopped for a while and realized things in my day that are really important and I have posted an entry that is true to my commitment here.
till next time,
p.s.
