Looking Around

So what's new?

I don't know how much I will have time to put down here tonight... or if all that much needs to go down. I saw a great quote the other day which is still re-routing circuits in my head. And, now it is out of my head... but as most famous words are quoted incorrectly anyway... here is my best shot at remembering:
"You don't find yourself. You create yourself."

And, no I don't remember who said it. I think I saw it in a recent issue of Ode Magazine or Utne Reader or maybe a fairly snappy local monthy called Skirt. And, yes, I could have written it all down, along with who said it- maybe. But, I didn't... heck, I can always spend a half hour looking through all the back issues I have... right? Ok, so organizing is not one of my long suits.

I probably would have put it in my list of signature files for the tag end of my e-mails... but the full import of the words didn't actually hit me until long after I put the mag down and it simmered in my subconscious for a few days. Create my self? What a concept, I started here thinking I should be looking for myself... And, I should have been creating all along. Actually, I have been creating... we all do... it is just that most of us seem to be doing like I am... unconsciously.

So, where to start creating? And, how much static to creating does come from outside of me? That is one of my quandries, is that wall of static a barrier I am to burst through, or the Universes way of saying, not here... there!? I don't do much thinking out loud, but maybe I could start. Anyway... time is about up for tonight, so I am out of here. If creating is something I am to do... it is time to start, now.
