About “being stuck”.
I don’t like it, but I’ve come to see it (or rationalize it away?) as a necessary part of the process. To me, creativity at it’s best is pure energy transformed. In the case of writing, energy is transformed into words: in art, images. Either way it is both a gift and a draining exercise. Down-time is a needed period of rest, whether we recognize it as such or not. All imho, of course…
What do you think?

I call it interior time, or really life.

interior time is really life? that’s truly intriguing…

Our interior life is really who we are, without all the aspects we use to deaden this. Yet it is rare that we can live here for long, we live in a society and culture that seeks to keep us from ourselves! “The final mystery is oneself.” (Oscar Wilde, Irish poet, novelist..etc. I am also Irish born.)
