Writing

You ever have those days when the words seem to flow in all that you do, you sit down to journal over that first cup of coffee and the words literally leap onto the page? The mind is racing so fast that neither the hand, nor the keys on the keyboard can keep up with all the things that you have to say! And then the day moves on and the ideas slow down to the pace of your hands, and then fade to the point that the mind can no longer keep up with the hands. There is this window of time, at least for me in which writing flows and goes and I do not question what I write, but later reflect on it and find insight in what I wrote. Sometimes I think it is like that comedy in which Homer gives a wonderful presentation or platform for some political campaign, wins, and then wakes up from the coma and asks what happened. Writing is sometimes like this, that you cannot control or regulate it when it comes but must allow yourself to be the lightning rod by which it flows onto the page or computer screen. I wish that so many things in life could be more explicitly explained, put into a box and sold, but this is not one of them. This is a gift from God, the ability to allow your body to be an extension of the mind that lives and breathes and contemplates within us, ever refining the thoughts that sometimes shoot out like this, that fill the page, that form the static that we must wade through every day of our lives, or the words of wisdom that free us from the chains of bondage, or enlighten us to try another way, to seek something new. Words are the most powerful instrument in the world, if they are well strung. Like a piece of music that can uplift or destroy our resolve, such power do words have as well, and I want to let them flow, want them to take on lives of their own and inspire each one of you to live to your greatest potential and to never let go of the dreams that first inspired you to do anything in this life. No dream is too crazy, we always have hope no matter how hopeless the situation may seem, and above all have no fear! BE NOT AFRAID! All fear will do is prevent us from reaching our fullest potential in this life. And each one of us can achieve so much if we just let our gifts flow and give them where they are needed. Let us use each day to help us better understand how we may take up this role in the world! And if you ever need words of inspiration, you know where to look!
