Greetings Friends,
"Well, I think I'll try my hand at this blogging thing", he said, as the Four Horsemen on the Apocalypse came thundering over the horizon. It's just hard to sit still for that long.
Nervous energy, that's my problem. In the words of Hawkeye Pierce, "Ten minutes sleep a week ought to be enough for anybody."
And while we're on the subject, let's talk about energy. Not the kind that makes you say "I think I'll vacuum the dog" or "lets build an experimental aircraft in the garage".
I speak of the energy that is your unique life force. Here's the problem...you've got it...somebody wants it (usually someone with no sense of their own purpose), and someone always wants to stick a tube in you and siphon it off.
Nervous energy makes us more susceptible...those of us who feel we always have to be doing something "constructive". That's ok, as far as it goes. Just don't let anyone else sit at the helm, if you get my drift. The trick is learning the difference between what gives you energy, and what takes it away...particularly since one will frequently disguise itself as the other...no mean feat, as they say.
This week finds me anxious to finish a project too long in the works. So many things try to intervene, to pull focus, to distract, to diffuse. But no longer. The creative fire, the torch that illuminates the dark places will be lit. Look for the next project to be complete later this summer. Thanks for listening to what has gone before, and for waiting for what's to come. Focus... and "simplify, simplify, simplify". I'll let you know how things are progressing.
Ron
