Write Away...

I am sitting at my dining room table, enjoying a cup of coffee, and tapping away at my laptop. I have always envisioned this as my perfect moment- the life of a writer. Although I am not getting paid, so I cannot exactly say I am living the dream. Yet somehow, it all comes down to this moment. I think I expected my success to come in a pretty picture, usually involving glowing skin, happy smiles, and piles of money. And maybe that will happen one day, and I can certainly get carried away by the picture. But right now, as the words come to me, I quietly close my eyes, finding my way around the keyboard and let the thoughts flow through me. Success in its physical form is simply a transference of energy from the spiritual realm. Our psyche, happy and healthy, is the greatest success we can master. Feeling energy flow through my body, and coming up with something to say, something meaningful, creating words that have been strung together a million, trillion times, but not quite in this order, and somehow finding a new meaning, is success. Writing for the pure excitement of seeing what I am really thinking, instead of hiding away in my subconscious, is a great success. Feeling the keys as they jump up and down excitedly beneath my finger pads is truly a marvel. Being here, eyes closed, and imagining what the spelling mistakes will amount to, is also pretty amusing. I may not have sat down with any message, nothing bright and clear that will make a difference, but to me, being able to express myself in a coherent, linear form, rather than a mass of words and images in my head, is a huge success. I think today you should write something down too. Get in touch with your inner source of energy. See what you have to say to yourself. And just enjoy the moment, small as it is. And then someday, you can go back and read what you wrote and that moment will be encapsulated for all time.
