Writing (for me) is like breathing. What's your breath?

Writing, for me, is like breathing. I need to write. I want to write. And some days the words (like breath) won’t come.




Writing, for me, is like breathing. I need to write. I want to write. And some days the words (like breath) won’t come.
I have no choice, but to be me. I cannot become a chair or a clucking hen. I can act like one. I can fold up and hide. I can sit still and be present. I can shine like the brilliant stripes or cast gray shadows. I can simple be.
It’s a challenge to step back into my blog, because so much has transpired since I last wrote. I need time to absorb. Rest. Cry. Sleep. Celebrate all that is and was and shall be. Care to join me?
My summer days are simple and full. Sometimes I have oodles I want to say and not enough time to write it all down. Other days I feel dry as an old desert bone with hours (& blank pages) spread before me. A fellow coach and colleague described her own summer feeling like that of being a tumbleweed… rolling from one place to another, sprinkling seeds along the way. I wonder what my seeds are as I sit in my studio contemplating what it means for me to live it and give it like my banner boldly proclaims.
If I’m going to say that I am a writer then I must write. The funny thing is that I write nearly every day. I write something whether it’s a Facebook status or an entry in my hand-written journal. Has my life been reduced to a simple Facebook status?
