How can we plan for spontaneity? What schedule best invites inspiration? The creative’s life is always paradoxical. I recognize the tapping you make on this logjam of yours, pulling out twigs to see how the balance shifts. I trust you will find your way through - and perhaps discover a river with new shape and new flow once the jam unfurls.
I can’t tell you how much this post resonates with me. In my case, I feel burdened by the belief that if I’m not a world authority on every aspect of some hazy, misty, beautiful nebula that wants to come out into creation, then I’d best keep my thoughts to myself. That’s a death knell b lied for a writer! I’m so happy to hear that as you peel away the old skins of patterns that no longer serve, you are giving that tendency to make lists a new birthright- a new way of keeping joy alive. Can’t wait to sit back and see what color the wall turns next (as Alice Walker put it).
