A funk


Yep that has to be it. A creative death of sorts..Blog burnout...Creative block...I have been waiting for the rebirth..Like spring it has to come after the winter. The shutting down, the sleep, the re-energizing...I am waiting for the ca coon to break apart and set me free. To what I do not know. I have heard other artists talk about this block as something that changes their art and their souls forever. I have longed for it. That can only explain why I shut down...Two months to be exact. The actual shut down started earlier about three years ago but the complete closure has been two full months. I can feel the chill creativity edging in at the windowsill of my soul. But if you look right at it you can't see a thing. I can smell it in the wind. Coming closer. I can taste it but do not know how to make it come any faster.
I hopped out to the garden...but no inspiration there...a lot of weeding to be done and the past two years of neglect staring at me. I started making small changes...A few day lilies here and there...I found a Robin's nest in my trumpet vine. I'll take a picture for you tomorrow. The babies are everywhere. I stirred up a couple baby bunnies yesterday while raking up my weeds....They were so cute. I can't help but worry about them.
I love the swaps and creations that are on these various blogs...I have not checked in on them in months. The smell is stronger when I click on their sites. Need to find my muse....I hate when that happens...
but I know it always comes back.
