Putting fuel into the writing instrument.  Undeveloped thoughts.  A willingness to be activated.  The words seem to be on a boat held up in a tiny port.  Funny how life tends to locate blockages.  To stand at the base and do nothing but stare into the several levels of emptiness.  This is a pretty heavy adventure this new day.  I’m having a difficult time writing!  The third sentence says it all.  A willingness to be activated.  When you can’t write.  Write about having a difficult time writing.  When you can’t sing or act then sing and act.  It’s ok to accept that you suck!  Sucking at something is brilliant growth.  Your awareness knows of the struggle and through the attempts made by being willing there is progress.  Locate your creative strength.  Taking note of the present and not where your feet were once planted.  To check in means to clear your mind.  What must be done?  Putting fuel into the writing instrument.  Willingness.  To empower the moment.  Letting go of the weight we carry.  Today I can’t write.  So I wrote about the difficulties of writing.

With them is the very funny Sunnie Goodwin. 7pm post

Waking up with the forest.  The hawks. Two are in vision.  A calling inside these trees to wake up in peace.  I’m amazed by the sounds the hawks are making.  They want to be heard far ahead of all others things.  In Native American Spirituality, when the hawk makes itself known to your presence the message is clear.  You’re caught up in too much.  Stay alert and become more focused.  Pay close attention to your surroundings.  Quit trying to change others.  Over the past nineteen months our evolution has been that of unexpected change. We’ve all been newly reshaped.  For many the goals and or missions have been to remain in strength.  The hawk’s message is a huge reminder of what happens when the walls of the lockdown fell.  Suddenly we got busy again.  I took on new jobs while holding onto the others.  Only to find myself yearning for that open space caused by the pandemic.  And I often wonder if that’s not the reason why so many aren’t returning to their jobs and or are quitting.  The change experienced has rebuilt the drive and desire to succeed.  Because I’m a daily writer I’m able to go back and read of the struggles to put the new puzzle together.  In doing so I realized how time was no longer a luxury but rather a forced entry.  In the glory of being freed from the lockdown and with businesses reopening we chose to run toward the life we had before March 2020.  Too big of a bite.  My challenge to you is simple.  Pay close attention to the animals near you.  Not all of them but the one’s that seem to stick out the most.  Google their spiritual connection.  You’ll be amazed at how they are the stronger teacher in an age when we are the student.

Stream Thinking: Not A Fan Of Text Messaging

September 27, 2021

I’m a man of many faults and weaknesses.  One of them being seriously disconnected from texting.  I don’t enjoy reading or writing a text message.  Especially if the conversation is excessively long or the subject involves several talk bubbles.  I think it’s based on a lack of inflection.  I see words but I’m not hearing them.  My creative mind starts to make up the noise.  If something doesn’t feel right I’m always going to react in ways the original author didn’t mean.  It’s like my daily writing!  Only I hear the intended message.  A future reader might think of me as being a depressed angry aging man with every ambition to seize control of all things lonely.  That’s so far from the truth.  If this is how I feel about my personal writing adventures, then the goal should be to have physical conversations and not written words of assumption.

You Can't Turn It Off

September 24, 2021

I heard a teacher this morning say these words, “You can’t turn it off.”  I watched the video over and over.  The entire message was based on how leaders of lessons taught are expected to be on 24/7.  The part that hit me the hardest in the heart was when she explained how taking home school work kept her away family.  She wasn’t in control of raising her children. You can’t turn it off.  This is very close to me because of my wife’s connections to education and I lived this teacher lifestyle with her.  Saying thank you to class room leaders isn’t enough.  Teachers need helping hands physically and mentally.  Not parents endlessly pointing fingers while throwing out false accusations. You can’t turn it off.  When will the circle get tighter?  The community raises the child but it’s only the teacher showing up.  You can’t turn it off.  You know what’s sad?  The stories you aren’t hearing?  Teacher’s who’ve located the off button.  The numbers are rocking schools.  Teachers aren’t the only ones.  Employees in every business have located the same off button. I see it every day!  People are hired. They take one good look at the expectation then walk away.  We’re facing a mountain in education. How close are we to local decision maker’s agreeing to hire anyone willing to come to class and read from a book?  You can’t turn it off.  When we do the future is handed something much bigger than the mountain before us.

September 23, 2021

As a writer things move through us differently. Not everybody will admit to that. Mostly because writer’s tend to be selfish with their secrets of ability.  No wonder so many choose not to write!  Inspiration and influence on a page doesn’t have to come from just reading. Non-writers need to hear from those who do write.  I’m presently on the corner of walk and don’t walk.  The morning writer cannot be compared to the nighttime writer.  Opposites!  I think it’s because the morning writer is peacefully setting up the new day mindset.  Whereas the nighttime writer is digging into the theory of spirits walking toward us.  Basically meaning he’s not afraid to look into the eyes of the beast.  Listen, we all have dark sides and know of our personal mood makers.  Opposing the beast at five in the morning is a well-disciplined walk that’s been to hell and back before seven in the morning.  While the nighttime writer finds strength in taking swipes at understanding the core of the source, the morning mission is to remain as far away as possible.  I always tried to keep from writing in my published novels at night.  I knew I’d kill off a character.  Taking those writing chances without fearing the consequences.  Knowing who your writing self is requires note taking.  Creative minds walk away from storytelling because of a switch in moods.  Then complain about how difficult it is to be a writer.  It’s not if you know the multiple levels of writers that are begging to get out of you.  Get to know your deeper source.  Stand up to the beast when you feel most comfortable.  It’s when you don’t let your creative energy have a place out here that the monster finds difficult to digest.  Julia Cameron from the Artist Way says it best, “Your creative self is an inner child.  Treat it as such.  Listen to it.  Create with it.  Calm it.  And say no to it when need be.”
