If I join the art center I may have a bit of space I can use over there. It feels more like my travelling days of having no space of my own apart from that which presents itself...but when you take a place sight-unseen, these things can happen. No mosquitoes yet, fortunately. They don't always like me anyhow. Lots of crows here, but I miss my namesake, the raven. Songbirds wake me each day though...and the wind, howling. Seagulls...first I've seen in years. The locals haven't quite figured out what to make of me yet. Probably they never will. At least i'm not waking up to angry villagers with pitchforks & torches, which has been known to happen some places. Well that's about it for now. I'm sure you will find your balance of online connection and this world we seem to live in. They are both illusions anyway. Only what comes from the Heart is real, and you appear to See this, in whatever way you connect with the rest of us.

You are doing a MAJOR act/labor of creation right now at a cellular level, plus I imagine on many other levels, too.

I recently wrote...Interesting you should clarify... I recently wrote a friend that since becoming pregnant, I felt lost- creatively and majorly. She said that it's a time of inner creativity... energy directed within... it helped me to realize there is a balancing point in life, cyclically, in which the energy becomes directed within. I know this "lost" feeling... felt it after dropping out of art school, for two years before moving on to uni, felt it again in Los Angeles when my creative studies stopped nurturing me. Maybe it is similar for you, maybe mountains are being moved on the inside, preparing you for change & opening flower buds on the outside. That's what I try to think anyway, when I get confused & frustrated. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397400242153470523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916523607533787507.post-36560541893042581182015-04-12T18:02:32.382-05:002015-04-12T18:02:32.382-05:00Reifyn, I'm so glad that you got out of "...Reifyn, I'm so glad that you got out of "Dodge" and came to Minnesota! Let it be known that I take no responsibility for mosquitoes, ha. If you're living in the place I think you are, you are truly "Up North" and can now sniff at visitors from "the Cities", who are not hardy enough to brave the winters of northern MN. I do hope Superior serves as a powerful muse for making your art, as it was for George Morrison and all kinds of other artists. Just breathing in the lovely fragrance of all that vast volume of fresh, cold water and the piney woods, may it rejuvenate your spirit! All my best!

The connections made while keeping a web log (and in reading the life journeys of others) really shouldn't be underestimated, especially for a less-social introvert like me. And figuring out what feels right NOW is always going to be an ongoing process. Plus, t's not just about the screen time spent in the writing, but wrestling with the question: how to express oneself while in the midst of inner confusion and undefinable goals? I guess the answer is, "imperfectly and messily."

What has brought...Beautiful and well said, Carmine. What has brought me to utter agreement is my pregnancy. Suddenly, my intuition became heightened, scanning everything I fed myself (physically & intellectually & emotionally) for wellness. Turns out, "screen-sucking" isn't very nourishing. I'm still on my own blog break while I figure this out. I want connection and a web space... I think... but I need to pare it down. How, I don't know, but I hope my intuition & belly will reveal in due time.<br />Much love <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397400242153470523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916523607533787507.post-18753511537429323792015-04-06T13:58:55.685-05:002015-04-06T13:58:55.685-05:00I am glad you posted something as I have been want...I am glad you posted something as I have been wanting to write you a note. My life has dramtically changed. In 1 sense I have dramatically reduced my "screen staring": I gave up net access & only use at the library with my ipad. Also dropped texting & have no mailbox on my phone. Gone as low-tech as possible, want 2 interact with the world around me & connect, & work on my art, after ages of being someplace I couldn't stand. I am now in your homeland on lake superior in a village. The place I'm staying is not good: there are many problems of which I was deceived. But I'm working to deal with this situation. I'm very glad to be here is this beautiful windswept surroundings though, but still have my work cut out for me. Hope you do still write here sometimes. I'll either be in MSP in Aug or Oct; if you want to write sometime, you can figure out my email very easily. Best wishes Carmine & thanks for suggesting this lovely place. -ReifynReifynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346573496969586088noreply@blogger.com
