The Mixture

A little bit of everything.

Cracked

I reflect what I want you to see in me.
A pillar of strength, unshakable by the strongest of earthquakes.

I pretend that every sliver that’s chipped away is nothing but a superficial chink in my armor.

The tears fall one by one, subtlety enough that you only see me with clear eyes.

It’s not your fault I claw so desperately to the cliff knowing that this time the fall would be too much.

All of it has become too much.

I will have to accept that, my greatest fear is to accept that.

Would you accept me?

I learned long, long ago but I can’t help myself.

I pretend regret won’t matter but it is going to be my only emotion tomorrow.

Too much fun, together we are perfect in the moment.

The next moment has no guarantee.

Will I ever outgrow it? Do I want to outgrow it?

Some things are good to keep youthful.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished” Lao Tzu

Something to think about going into the week and resetting for productive writing. 

How can you balance urgency vs. hurry?

Clarity

I could dance around in metaphors but I want to give you the truth, not the power to interpret.

I thought about hypnotizing you with imagery and illusion but it can’t be hidden with beautiful pictures.

Dancing around with language isn’t doing anything but confusing the situation.

Do you see it now?

It must be clear,

I can’t live without you.

A new writing prompt I am working on…

If you could spend thirty minutes sitting there with anyone in the world who would it be and why?

Spent the last few days up in the mountains getting away from reality, hunting for inspiration, and planning the future. 

I Was Wondering

I am back and I couldn’t be more excited. I didn’t get everything done that I wanted but it was productive.

Final round of hard copy editing done. Found one hundred more pages of material for my in progress memoir and I have more than one idea percolating for NaNoWriMo.

However, there was something missing over these last few weeks. I couldn’t figure it out at first but it was not updating this blog.

This quote sealed it for me. My everyday curiosity needs to be satisfied by the exploratory writing I do here and with the interaction I have with my followers.

By the way this is post 501… I can’ t believe it, here’s to 500 more 😉
