Small Voice, Wise Advice

So it isn't hard to realize that I have been very quiet lately. Even though it has been going on for a while (off and on) it is nothing to worry about because I have experienced this in the past. I chalk it up to simply the bipolar nature of my creativity. (No I am NOT bipolar, my creativity is.) Life has been so noisy lately. In particular other people's voices have been so loud. Sometimes it spurs me on to thoughts of my own, ideas which lead to writings, drawings...projects. Lately voices have been so loud that there feels like there is no room for my own voice even in my own head which tends to be a crowded place even in the best of times. Now don't get thinking that I am complaining. Quite the opposite, I needed a break....and apparently other voices needed to be heard more than my own. Woo hoo....my mind went on holiday (it really should have taken me with it, however. Perhaps when I go to Seattle next month I will leave my mind at home...no wait! that might be dangerous...I will be with L and we have a tendency to get into trouble even when I have all my wits about me! Well no mind over that right now.)

Anyway back to my line of thought...So anyway others voices....mindlessness....lacklusterness that verges on melancholy...boo hoo poor me (haha). This all leads me to a small, simple voice that said to me
"hey, when was the last time you did a project?" (no this wasn't one of those unbridled voices in my mind, it was an actual voice, belonging to K and not my alter ego K.)
My sleepy voice perked up its ears...a project? "what do you mean...a project?"
"I mean just when was the last time you did a project?"
and I thought darnit! someone asked the right question finally, now I have to do something! Of all the loud voices lately, those complaining ones, those criticizing ones, those that just needed to be heard...all the voices that have overwhelmed me lately....here was a somewhat quiet voice with a personally powerful question for me. "When was the last time you did a project?" It is apparent that she wasn't asking about my typical worklife. She was asking about my artlife. When was the last time I did a project?! That is a very good question. Finally!

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
