Oh, goodness. In moods like these, all I want to do is crawl into a welcoming bed with the words of others, not try to pull out my own.
I searched for this song just for the music and was surprisingly drawn in by the images. Yes, it's nothing new, for music video fare, but there's something about the freedom and light and vibrancy that right now, I'd like to swim in for a little. (Link here.)
Later, again. I just checked how many pages this thing has so far and it's by far more than it should for the stage it's at. There's a difference between writing lots and writing substance, and I have a feeling it's going to be a long journey towards the latter. If anything, most of it needs to be done again. And will be. Numerous times. I'm beginning to see how this is the process it is - the first seed of a thought rarely ends up mirrored in its end creation. Still, the ones that survive - the tiny, haphazardly fragile moments of possibility in which people and places come together and it's placed in your head, so full of substance it's inarguable - they're the ones I'm beginning to love the most, because they just 'were'. Almost like gifts, encouraging you through the pieces that aren't quite so easy to see the end of, goading you on to the next 'is', the part that's already written for you.
Time for the weekend, for refuelling, refreshing and more pages... or, hopefully, less.
Tonight online I felt like I hadn't had enough of your amazing way with words so I found myself searching for your place online and then I remembered your blog. How happy I am. Feeling content.
