Such interesting musings, Kate! I have definitely found myself in times of being able to write and not wanting to, and have always viewed that as me self-sabotoging. But maybe it's not quite so deep and it's just me wanting to be with the world instead of observing it.
At first I wondered if I was self-sabotaging, too. Sometimes the pressure to be 'productive' creates a lack of motivation in me, or an anxiety that the creative work will be hard and unenjoyable. But I think this time it's different...I just want to 'be'. Whatever it is I'm trying to think less and just go with my feelings!
Hi Kate, Maybe the not wanting to is something we all go through or suffer from at some point. Seems like lately I've gotten to the point where I wish others would stop making demands on my time and energy. Not sure how or why but maybe it's a case of burnout and my internal batteries are blinking the low warning light. Time to recharge and unplug all the nonessentials and just power myself. My opinion is that it may be your own body, spirit and psyche telling you to unplug the peripherals and concentrate on yourself.
Very sage advice, thanks Wayne. I needed to hear it. I sometimes wonder if I haven't fully healed from a burnout I experienced a few years ago. I hope you're able to unplug and recharge too.
What you write about is almost always interesting, but the way you spell it out (pun intended) is even more fascinating. 'Who is this slippery, serpentine woman?' is the perfect opening sentence to keep one reading.
This was so full of imagery. I'll certainly be returning to taste these words and this mood again.
Summer is never my season to write. It's a season of long days and time that seems to drag on forever, and yet I just can't seem to get the words down. This summer in particular was full of other things for me. I'm curious as to which tarot deck you ended up with, if you care to share. One day, I'd love to trade readings with you.
