Change is constant

I don't know about anybody else but I always feel my life is changing. For a long time I fought against that change from a place of fear, but I have since learned that change is growth and it is a good thing- and is something to be embraced. So much so, I infact welcome change with a new excitment - wondering what comes next.

I have also learned that there can be beauty found in what can be perceived as chaos, this picture is one example of that. It is a perfect balance and representation of how we are like nature. I love the contrasts life provides us with and how that opens us up to such richness of experience.

As I begin to prepare for my 5th - 3 Day Novel Contest I am going to continue to explore the creative choices that have been provided to me in this lifetime.

I know what my hopes, dreams and goals are for the long term, it is just the short term ones that I need clarity on. I've always been a big picture thinker and am so focused that sometimes I can forget where my feet are at this moment.

Truth be told I do most things on faith and instinct and trust that I will feel my way through. If I feel good - then this must be good, if I feel bad this cannot be good for me. I do the same thing with my writing. When I am able to clear my mind and just let the words type themselves without self editing to death -they come. They always do I just have to get out of my own way to let them happen. When I do, I am never disappointed.

There is never a bad day of writing - for words are what they are, the meanings are what they have come to say to us and it is up to interpret them. I am choosing to be open to whatever is coming to me and I have faith in my creative abilities that they will lead me in the direction that I am to go in - even if it is not what is pictured in my mind at this moment.

While my writing efforts are going to be focused on this contest - my blogs here until the September 2nd when the contest is over - may be sparce. I will be back as often as the writing allows - both internally and externally.
