The shift

Something has shifted.

For months, I’ve been wanting to write on here but every time I came to write, I felt stalled.

Some people might call this writer’s block.

What was really happening for me during the last few months was actually that I was moving through several things in my personal life and a lot of the energy was focused there. It didn’t feel right for me to come out and write. To share.

I write nearly everyday. About anything and everything or sometimes nothing. I just don’t share everyday, because the writing doesn’t always want to be shared and I need to respect that. It may be for something else, something bigger, something I can’t quite see yet.

This is my creative process. Things take as long as they take. I don’t force or rush anything. Creations cannot be rushed. They have their own pace. I cannot see the full picture upfront, but I need to trust the process.

And I’m writing here today, because I really feel moved to.

It’s not important what the thing was that shifted. My mind doesn’t need to know what it was. All it needs to do is notice that something has shifted and moved. And when I’m experiencing long periods of not writing, all my mind needs to do then is stay present with what is, let my body do it’s thing, and let things in my world shift as they need to.

So much trust is required in the creative process.
