Everyone who writes has something to say. I have thought about this for awhile now. I’ve scratched my head, and come to the conclusion that must not always be the case. The fact of the matter is that for once in my life I really don’t feel like communicating. Quite strange for me, indeed, being I was born under the sign of the twins! Frankly, truth be told, there’s just nothing to put out and no place for it to come into either. I feel like the whole universe floats just outside my consciousness and I am quite detached. And, what am I doing? Here I am writing. A true paradox. I always thought that writing was about communicating. But here I am writing with no desire to communicate at all. Something in me has changed. The writing is an act of creation now, no longer a means to communicate. So, I suppose, I will let the creation live. What is it? A story? A truth? There is a new energy coming into our universe from a place beyond the Milky Way. That energy is changing me; it is changing everything. Even the Earth shakes beneath us. Listen to that rumble! The Earth has always spoken to us. Sometimes, we have listened. Many times, we haven't. I doubt if the people of Atlantis were listening. I hear it, that energy, and resign myself to accept it, knowing that it is time for this evolution. What will be left behind when the change is complete? Something. Some new creation. Until then, I commune with paper. Sometimes, paper talks back. Sometimes, it creates words like what I have merely chisseled out here. It is like the sculpture molding itself. I merely watch. This sculpture is rough around its edges reflecting the sign of the times. When the change is complete, perhaps I will find it again, soften its lines and fill in its holes. |

Life sculpts itself, and not always with soft edges. You've given me a ponderful write tonight. LOL, is there really such a word as ponderful? There is now. (it probably should be ponderous?) I've been sitting here tonight, trying to piece many mental puzzles together.Your write is timely, Jo, and fits my mood. |

iliana, Strange thing communication. How much is heard and with such propicious timing! Interesting write... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Acceptance is the only way to go but I'd so very much like to know the "why" of this new energy - what is it all for - when is it for. Sigh! |

"soften its lines and fill in its holes" Ain't that the truth. Brings it all home. Great write iliana. JL She said: ”You look cute in the dark.” |
