what you carry is sacred

The world no one sees, the history no one knows, the shapeshifting of identities like quicksilver.

Comforting emptiness where your truth once stood. A curious fox sniffing out the ruins.

A rustling sound;
Incoming ideas!

Nine times out of ten, when I want to tell someone about all the exciting things that happened, I hold back and realize there’s nothing to tell.
Because nothing actually happened.
It was all internal, or what also happens frequently, it was incredibly small.

Like I already rescued three bumblebees this year, with a nectar filled keychain I got for my birthday (beevive).
I stick a little twig in the bottle, then hold it in front of the disoriented bumblebee running around on the bike lane.
And then as they start licking it off as if their life depends on it (and it probably does) I get them to climb the twig and transport them, twig and all, to a green spot in the shade.

Even if Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses then ran into us, blocking the lane, that day would still be more emotionally charged because of the bumblebee.
But Axl Rose would make the better story.

Recently someone asked how my life was now that I had less time for my writing.
I said it was completely doable, but being productive does knock all the creativity out of you.

Which wasn’t totally true, it was more like a worst-case scenario.
IF, I would still invest in Instagram worthy activities that actually “are something” and are cool to tell people about?
THEN my creativity would have died.

But I no longer do that.
Yet I look forward to the weekend!
It means I get to spend copious amounts of time in my inner-world.

Your gift, your creativity, your art, is the tangible, visible thing you create. Yes! 
But your real creative work, is so much vaster;
It is ALL, of what you carry inside of you.

And just showing up there and engaging, alone or with a friend or friends who share it;
That, is your work.
