To Write Love

   On Wednesday I began what might be a life long task of organizing thoughts and aspirations. Rubbish. Mental clutter. A fool speaks many words, but the wise man examines his breath. The point here is speed. I believe that in order to do things right you have to be willing to do them slow.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

   To avoid shooting myself in the foot, I decided to get organized. From there the days seemed busy, but productive. First I would sit in one position and ponder the abyss of the dome and then after examining the internal world I moved on to the external reality.

What do I need to get in order? What needs structure? 

   I saw that my desk was messy. Letters upon letters, sticky notes, flashcards, and more paperwork, mostly medical bills. Ugh! As my body began to pace around the room I began to ask myself, "What is your blog about? "How will you captivate your audience? How will you engage your readers?"





I need to clean.

   Then there was a clean desk. I then moved on to organizing my mail, medical bills and other miscellaneous paperwork. Done! It all has a pile, box, drawer and now I get on to a list. Lists, lists, lists! Finally organization is setting in. I developed a habit and now my external world matches the plans of the heart. Writing is not something I like to do, writing is something I must do. I must. While watching a movie with my brother Samuel, it suddenly hit me - TRUST THE PROCESS.



   Everything I worried about was nonsense. This is about me. This blog is about muah! It is simple, yet sophisticated; silly, yet serious; personal, yet polished. What defines me as a writer is my experiences not my audience. 

"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us."

If you appreciate classical music I found a blog with nothing but concertos, symphonies and even a list of composers. Check it out!
