This is How I Do The Work
I woke up at 3:30 am to write. I haven’t been able to do this in over six weeks since having the COVID. It’s as if there has been something missing from me, and I can feel it slowly coming back. The morning silence. The first cup of my fancy coffee from a machine that looks like it’s from back to the future. A dimly lit candle and the blank pages in front of me. It’s all part of who I am these days.
Something comes forward from within me when I am here in this space. It is the self free from identities of the world. It is where I can drop all chaos from the busy world and connect deeper with my heart as I hear every breath that proves I am very much alive.
Speaking of life, I saw my first few design rounds for my cover of Nowhere To Go, and it realigned me with parts of me I had almost forgotten. I sometimes leave this part of me behind while I spend my days searching for something or someone. It is as parts of me feel hollow, never to find what I desperately want and need. I have written about this before; I am not enough because I am getting caught up in a superficial chase. Writing allows me to find my way back to my heart’s center, so I can see nothing I need will come from outside of me. I enter a space where I flow and a world that gives me the freedoms to the kingdoms I seek.
