Waiting Turn to be Exposed ...

                                                             

"It was all in my head and now

all I had to do was figure out

a way to get it down on paper."

Ann Patchett

Both the inner and the outer worlds unfurl differently for each of us.  We do not all rise and shine at the very same time.  There are those who perceive needing the public attention in order to move forward.  Then there are others who shy away from any sense of acknowledgment as they wish to remain hidden.

It is up to each individual to internally notice the patterns inside of the mind and the heart and then choose the manner of expression to be used.  Creativity is endless, but even so, the help of others to align the vision and the tangible reality is frequently needed. 

My mind is filled with colorful patterns and themes while scripts for journaling float about.  Speed is always differing depending upon whether or not ideas need to be expanded or trimmed for a finer line. It can be overwhelming to walk around in my head observing the artistic imagery and the glossary of unusual words just waiting to their turn to be exposed.  

Lingering In My Absence

"'None of it happened, and all of it's true' 

might be the very definition of good fiction."

Ann Patchett

COMMONWEALTH

What words will linger in our vacated space when we move on?  Will we be remembered for having an acid tongue, biased opinions or distorted views?  Will we be quoted for our words of wisdom or insightful reactions?  Will our imaginative whimsy or precision with truth be recalled?

Fictional writers often base characters on people they have met, but alter the story line; or the content is positively true, but the characters imagined.  Non-fictional authors give voice to people, places, and things which may have just been discovered, and yet  existed prior to discovery.  Each generation contributes and/or changes definitions and creates passwords or codes.

When I vacate this space, I hope the words lingering in my absence will include: Articulating Silence (writing and presentations), Deciphering Dreams (unfolding a language in itself) and Exploring Inner Landscapes (parallel lives and diverse realms).  I endeavor to leave behind words of kindness, passion, and creative expression .
