It was super cloudy and gloomy and now suddenly it isn’t, it’s sunny, barely a cloud in the sky. It all changed like that.
Insert snap.
It’s one of those days where I sit down to write and feel like I have already said all the words in the world, expressed all the ideas my brain has to offer. Where the ambient noise around me is far louder than anything in my head. Surely there is more to say.
Maybe not.
The leaves are changing, the Earth continues its semi-orderly hurdling through space, twirling as it moves, with all of us speeding at around 67,000 miles per hour while we feel like we’re standing still. Round and round we go.
Getting nowhere, really, at all.
If I’m being totally honest, and rather uncharitable to myself, kind of like this post.
I’ve caffeinated, I’ve let it marinate, I’ve laid the trail of cheese to coax the thoughts out of their little burrows. Yes, thoughts like cheese.
Everyone likes cheese.
And it’s not as though I don’t know that this is part of it, part of the rise and fall of writing, part of the reality of creating something where before there was nothing.
Sometimes it continues to remarkably resemble nothing.
The Earth faces the sun and the Earth spins away from the sun, it tilts and sometimes gives it the side eye, at least from here, north enough to feel the changes as they change.
Some days the thoughts are blazing bright, my fingers fly and I’ve reached the end scarcely before I realize I’ve begun.
And some days, I feel the tilt away from the sun, feel the heat is not what it was, and watch the light shifting.
But even then, I know, eventually, we’ll come around again.
Have a great Wednesday.
