My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. |
| It's another hazy, kind of foggy, and sometimes snowy day here; it can't seem to make up its mind. The only thing certain is no sunshine breaking through the gloominess. Even so, my spirits are brighter than yesterday, and I want to put more focus on writing and reading. One thing I want to at least get started on is cleaning my office. It's more of a junk room right now, and even with two desks in there, I'd be hard-pressed to find room to set my coffee down. I think getting my office cleaned up may help me break through some of the writer's block. Currently, I'm sitting back in my recliner with my laptop and subject to multiple interruptions throughout the day. I believe having a space designated just for writing will help, but I know it will take a bit more to overcome the blockage. Another step is to get back into reading. As a kid, I read anything when I wasn't actively engaged in some activity; I loved reading almost as much as I loved exploring the abandoned mining pits that were right outside of town. However, some years ago, life filled my days with so many interruptions and distractions that I became flustered with both writing and reading. In time, the discouragement became rooted and grew into the blockage I suffer today. It's time to change that, even if it means locking myself in my office and putting earplugs in. If I cannot find anything to write about, I'll do a bit of free writing to try and generate ideas to write about. I'm also going to practice a bit of positive meditation to try and drive the dark cloud that's haunted my days and nights since last spring away. I also thought about ordering a solar panel to put a little sunshine in my office, but in reading up on them, I discovered they don't work that way. One would think a solar panel would produce sunlight and heat. You know, a portable source of sunshine. However, it seems the term is misleading; the panel isn't solar at all. It seems they don't produce solar energy, but in fact require sunlight to work. |
