Identifying That Place

Listen to "Identifying That Place" on Spreaker. September 22, 2021 I tend to write a lot at night. Very late at night. It looks more like scribbles than physical words. As of late the writing-self-challenge has been to locate that place. We all have a place. You know that place! When the sun starts to set mentally things about us begin to change and something from a different place begins to consume our presence. That place. As a writer I’m trying to identify it. To locate the trail. To understand the transitions. To document the reshaping of emotions. Many things are written about but the goal is to know the entire story. Creative people are guided by instinct, inner feelings, intuition and or what some easily write off as those voices. They have to come from somewhere! You know! That place! I think it’s easier to access at night because as long as there’s sunlight the strength of our guard is always up. Being mindful is one thing. Living mindful is another. It means knowing the right way to the source and it requires the awareness of being. Art moving forward is breathing. I use meditation to get to that place. It’s only been recently that the writer is wanting to paint the experience into physical form. Teaching yourself growth. Hearing the voice while recognizing its presence in your present.
