It's been awhile since my last post, huh?
It certainly hasn't been for the lack of thoughts and ideas. I just haven't known how to verbalize any of them. Some of them have been too heavy for me to carry, so I let them go for now...
During lunch with a friend several weeks ago, we discussed our concern for having not been doing the things we love- for her photography and me writing.
"What's up with that?? I feel as though I'm losing some of myself, " she mused.
I agreed and wondered why I hadn't been able to spit a single word out in weeks in spite of having so much to say.
After a few moments of considering our dilemma, I wondered if maybe times that feel "dry" or "blocked" are actually a necessary part of our creative process. Perhaps sometimes we need to step back from whatever our craft is, regardless of how much we love it, to give ourselves time to rest, process, and allow new inspiration to find its way into our lives without us feeling as though we need to control how it enters and in what way.
That said, hopefully after a month of silence, some of the words that have been pent up will find a coherent way to assemble themselves into expression.
