As my fingers glide across the
keyboard the rush of new ideas and new conclusions flood my mind like a dam
that has been broken over a lost city. My fingers caress the keys as if holding on
for dear life, as if to take my next breath I must continue this thought.
People around me are but
whispers, the birds outside are only a soft hum, the only sound that echoes in
my ears is that of my own voice inside my head repeating the words that are now
flowing individually through each delicate finger to be so carefully placed on
this page.
I must look as though I am a
student of some high university or graduate program the way my focus is so geared
towards my computer screen. Yet this is my release; my outburst of energy, my cure for the days disgusting ills! This is my calming motivator to
relax my mind and simply move forward with each placing letter.
I pause to sip my tea, to check
my phone, to watch a bird perch itself high upon a branch to rest for the
night; then I climb inside my mind and allow my fingers to take me on another
adventure through this winding black and white page.
Our minds create our own
adventures. Sister (as I introduced in my post Summer Sonnets) used to read
to me some of the most incredible stories of sword fights, ships, princes, and love
when I was little. I would lie in bed with my eyes closed and just listen to
her voice and imagine myself in the stories themselves.
I believe this is where my
imagination and love for writing came from. I thank her for the introduction
and encouragement she gave me to continue with that passion. It was her idea for me to
start this blog.
Which has been my “go-to” when I’ve needed to vent.
I encourage everyone to read.
Begin your adventures there. Learn what you like, what kicks your mind into
gear, and then GO. Write your own story. No story is ever lame or
unsatisfactory if it comes from your own creative mind. Every human being is
different, thus every writing style will be different and unique in its own
fashion. Writing is a passion and a hobby of mine. I hope that if it is any of
yours that you will feel brave enough to share it with someone; a loved one, a
friend, or even me if I may be so honored! Just...
write!
It’s beautiful and it’s
the biggest stress-reliever I have found to date.
