well owen....

well thanks to owen I started this blog. Being unable to post comments on his blog without a blogger account I was forced to begin something that I have thought about beginning but have been hesitant to do. I don't tend to be a consistent person when it comes to things that I do just for me. And if something feels like a "should" I don't usually do it unless it is necessary or I deem it a "necessary" thing. So journals such as this might not be my thing but I would like them to become more my thing. So with an unknowing nudge from owen, here I am.

I write in my personal pen and paper journal sporatically. Somedays I feel like I am writing something down every other time I turn around. And then weeks will go by and I haven't written a thing. Writing works that way for me though and I just accept it. When the mood to write poetry strikes me, I write alot and then ages will go by and I haven't written a thing. Like this past fall and winter I was writing a lot of poetry. I haven't written another poem since very early this past spring.

It is the same with my art. Although for some reason I am still a bit afraid of art right now. God there was a time when I was always sketching something, when I was always working on a project....but life happens. Often when I least expect it life happens. And somehow along the path of life I have put aside some of the very thing that I consider essential to who I am. Well life never quits happening so I finally decided I can't wait anymore and I am working to recapture those things that I used to feel helped define who I am. How come it feels so right and yet I am so nervous?

Okay enough rambling for now....I actually only did this because owen shared his blog with me and told me that he would like it if I posted comments and I had some comments....lol
