You really know how to capture the unexplainable, my friend. I know this feeling so well. I’ve been working on a piece trying to explain how inspiration comes to write these letters to my son. I think I have the words I was looking for only beucuse I know I’m not alone now in trying to capture the unexplainable. Thank you!
This was fab to read! So glad you mentioned Liz Gilbert as I immediately thought of her book Big Magic and the anecdotes of the ‘ghosts’/ideas/stories flying about the air.
I experience it similarly but also have ADHD and have tons of ideas every day. My the point I manage to sit down to put pen to paper the ideas have often already faded away again 😅
Sylvia Plaths monologue is so important to me, I'm glad you mentioned it here. This concept of possibilities being ripe for us to pick is so lovely and so...forgiving. Forgiving in the sense that there's always more fruit to pick. There's always another story to dream up or path to take. Deep down I think I needed this reminder, so thanks for this piece!
Take the creative bull by the horns. Ride the ridge-back spine if your noteworthy binder bend it back and see the first ink spot developing to a ravenous creature that must be fed, fill up the page with pleading poesies then see how the muse mushroom 🍄 enlarges with spores scattered to create another page. It’s all play. You grabbed the bull horns spoke your truth. Turn the page there’s more should you want to shout out your next expletives. Make sure your pencil is sharpened . Blah blah blah. Black sheep have you any midnight snack to keep going ? And the muse behind the bar says yes Sir three more rounds to go. You dig your toes into the carpet find your stride and tan the hide of the bull whip crack that resolves your dilemma now solved with another page or two. Be happy. The sultry satin sheets await. Now you can sleep and let dreams bring you new wonders to raft down streams. Imagination is wonderful if you let it run free . You rode the bill now let it graze grass and then catch a few zzzs. That’s all for now folks. Been fun.
