Many exciting topics came up.<\/p>\n
First sentences, story-arches, messages.<\/p>\n
It was all there.<\/p>\n
But I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Well, I could, but it felt more natural not to.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I write four, five blogs in a couple of hours.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I don\u2019t write for weeks.<\/p>\n
There is no consistency, there is no plan that I know of, there\u2019s no urge to feed the algorithms.<\/p>\n
I either write, or I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really easy to tempt myself with thoughts of likes and confirmation, with the expectation of appreciation and words of gratefulness.<\/p>\n
But there I am, not writing.<\/p>\n
Listening to what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n
Making space for whatever wants to be done.<\/p>\n
And then doing it.<\/p>\n
Without a plan (well, there probably is one anyway).<\/p>\n
Without a goal, except getting comfortable with just being created, the little me, the activities, the thoughts, but that\u2019s not even a goal.<\/p>\n
I am not worried about being out of the picture.<\/p>\n
I am not anxious about having to show up and be on people\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n
It is all so easy, and simple, and gentle, and effortless.<\/p>\n
One step, then another, and so it goes.<\/p>\n
No writing.<\/p>\n
Until there is.<\/p>\n
Who knew life could be this way?<\/p>\n
Who knew?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
