Today I continue my blog, putting the fingers to the keyboard. Journaling has been a huge part of my life journey. It is curious that I have not been able to commit over the last year to a regular journaling practice. It has been sporadic and fruitful when I created space for the writing to come through. And I do not know why I hesitate. Is there something very real and important waiting to come out? Morning pages (a la the Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron) always reveal the hidden kernels of truth. Doing three pages of writing each morning frees my brain from clutter and opens my heart to my truth. Now this is not a one day fix…and the writing usually gets difficult around one and a half pages. Well, not difficult to write, just that I let distractions take me away from my journal or keyboard.. It is then I know that I should press on, for there is something waiting on the other side of the three pages. It may not reveal itself until the tenth day of writing (after the hump at twenty-nine a half pages) that the kernel pops wide open. I feel something inside needs to escape, to be brought into the light. So I begin, I make a commitment to my writing practice, today and tomorrow and the next day...hmmm..time to make coffee. Has it been 1 ½ pages already?
