I have so appreciated the time you've spent reading my words, and your generous and lovely, sometimes thought provoking comments. If your heart is calling you to write, then write you must. Take care of yourself and write. We will be waiting to read, if you are ready to share. We will welcome any brief visits, know you will be missed, but I, for one, honor your need to write.
Beautiful reflections of light Nancy. Metaphorically and Literally.
I understand that need for total focus on one's creative projects. On the other end of the scale, after a very focussed month of writing, I had only just written these words 5 minutes ago in my diary - "its ok to let it go for a bit Jo - there is too much on with family and Christmas. Its ok. Your writing will emerge when there is less clutter in the mind! "
And likewise our absolute deep drive to create/ to write must be given the space to become when that urge is there. Just like the caterpillar becoming the butterfly, the butterfly in your lamp.
All the best Nancy. Thank you for your friendship and support in this community. It means a lot. ❤️
And finally - you are not alone in this need to focus on your art:
"In truth, the work itself is the adventure. And no artist could go about this work, or would want to, with less than extraordinary energy and concentration. The extraordinary is what art is about." Mary Oliver
I will miss you 😔 please check in from time to time
