I've been reading a new blog by a young man I know. His honesty and creativity make me feel small. Yesterday I was listening to a radio interview about women's suffrage and the courage it took from them to gain the right to vote. I do not live a life that is fighting for something. I try to get through the day making decisions that hopefully won't make too many people unhappy with me.
The young man and the suffragettes are symbols of truth and honesty to self that I need to live up to. I need to stop worrying about pretty pictures being added because that's what all the creative magazines advise to pull in readers. I need to be true to myself and posting what is going on right now with me. Julia Cameron (I know she is the go to person for a creative life) advises morning pages. I am going to start free flowing in the blog for a while to help open myself to where it needs to go instead of stopping my creative self from opening up. I mean really who knows this blog even exists to read any thing i post?
I live in Texas and its been hot with temperatures in the 100's. A small cold front came through yesterday and the high today will be around 90. I will take the rain to be a little cooler although it will probably mean 100% humidity. Its almost September so we know that we will at least start having cooler nights. I hope cooler temperatures will me to open up and be out in the world more and give me more opportunities to write about something other than my small piece of life. I need more art, more movies, more interaction with creative people.
