I was remarking to someone last night who has kept reams of notes over her life, as have I, that there is less of a need for me to create words on the page.
It's an interesting phenomena since the written word has been how I have tried to make sense of things in the main.
For months now I have noticed that words wash over me, and that when particular words sparkle for me, capture my attention, I embody them. There is not the slightest need nor desire to write them down. The rest I can let go, like leaves blowing in the breeze.
To this end, this journal is less used now. I write far less in a nutting out kind of way.
I am hoping this opens the door to write, when the time and space is available, in a more creative and fiction oriented way. I had to let that go as I worked through things in my own mind.
Still, it's not over until the fat lady sings and who knows when I will feel an impulse to record something here.
Life certainly isn't always as I'd like it to be. Yet, my heart and my mind have developed this deep sense of compassion - not worry, but compassion - for others, including myself - that I find myself living in a very quiet space most of the time; calm, relatively relaxed.
For whatever I've gone through, so have we all gone through challenges in our own unique and personal way. It is the human condition.
And yet we rise. We rebuild. We heal. We are all amazing.
