Why not just do it?

Instead of asking myself what's with the no blogging? I figured, why not just do it?

My issue is that I think long and hard about what I want to write, what I want to say and how it can affect the world. . .  which I think is getting way ahead of myself. Why not just write?

I am normally not one to watch the news, yet yesterday I couldn't seem to turn it off as I watched the powerful weather that was Hurricane Sandy make landfall in NYC. My sister lives in Willamsburg and I wanted to make sure that she was okay, but the images of cars floating in parking garages and water flooding the subway system are too unbelievable to turn off. At least all of those movie directors and screenwriters who had to hear, "That would never happen." or " That movie was so unrealistic, water flooding the subway?! No way." are now all sitting smuggly in their damp homes going, "I told you so."

I am thoroughly amazed that people are even still talking about the election. Granted its in one week and this is supposed to be closing argument time, but COME on people. You think President Obama actually has time to stop and think about his election right now? When millions of people without power, millions of people are trapped on an island and fatalities are being reported hourly that he is going to stop and say, aww man, I wish I was stumping in Ohio right now.  That is not the kind of President I want, nor the kind of President that we need. Thankfully, Obama sprung into action and is already offering Federal aid to the states affected by this weather. If Romney were President we'd spend days waiting for Private companies to make the best bid before sending anyone in with aid.

I long for the day when humanity trumps economy. . . Trump, blech, he's gross,  just check out his Twitter feed about how the hurricane is good luck for Obama and will help buy him the election.

The best news coming out of New York and the hard hit areas is that there has been no looting, no crime and no violence. Instead, reports are flowing in of kindness and generosity offered to those in need. Focus on that, focus on the love, the open hearts, the kindness from strangers and our world will grow up to be the world that everyone knows we can be.

Sending out love, light, peace, an open heart, and good thoughts to everyone in the storms path, whether you're dealing with destruction or bracing for rain.

Stay safe, stay warm, stay hugged.

What's with the absence from blogging?

What's with the absence from creating?
What's with the absence from writing?
Why is it that we go through these dry spells if you will?
Why is it that I will sit down and watch TV for a few hours and beat myself up while doing it because I'd rather be writing? (I'm very flexible)
What is it in me that loves to self sabotage?
Am I really just too hard on myself sometime, hey, I said sometime, not all of the time?
I can go through dry spells and then I can go through amazing bursts of creative inspiration.
Lately, I can get a burst of creative inspiration and not be able to write through the inspiration.
It's almost like there are so many ideas that I can't filter and focus on one, so I don't focus on any.

This is a sure-fire way to remain in this status quo of life that I have created and I have to tell you and me, me, are you listening? I won't stand for this. I won't stand for the status quo. Life is too short, life is too much fun and there's too much of everything to explore to sit inside beating myself up for not doing what my soul is craving to do. Craving to create. Craving to inspire. Craving to conquer success. Craving to make people laugh. Craving to find bliss in every, single, solitary, PRESENT moment.

I am.
