Make Now The Best Time

They say that confession is good for the Soul.

I am a bad Buddhist.

I have been writing blogs in my head, jotting down notes but not writing them then publishing them here. I had blogs for New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, First Day of Spring and tons from my recent month in Brazil.

But, alas, something always came up to distract me from sitting my ass down to write them. Always too busy working for someone else to do my own projects. WTFIUWT?

And, I find I do this quite frequently. Never make it to the darkroom. Never get those cards out. Never take time to work om n my website & web presence for my photos. A list much longer than the number of unwritten blogs for this site.

So much for being in the present moment. Bad Buddhist!

Though, at the same time, I do not judge myself. I believe that everything unfolds exactly as it is meant to. Though, we (read I) can get into patterns of behavior which may be contrary to how we aspire to be.

So, I am fully aware of my tendency to put things off, waiting for a better/different moment.

No mas.

So, when I write them in my head, I will write them down then publish them here.

A promise to y’all and myself….

  1. And we will look forward to reading them :)

  2. I go through the same thing – sort of. Going through (hopefully it’s almost done) of a rough patch – severe chronic illness in the family – and I’ve been getting crazy insights and near epiphanies or just plain interesting ideas to write about – the angst is the fuel, I guess – and when it comes time to actually write, I’m done. I’m spent from the day and the emotion and the worry, and I don’t have the energy, or the time. It’s frustrating, and I feel like I’m letting someone down by not writing, but I have to accept that this is just how it is – right now. It won’t be like this forever. And then like today I force myself out to a cafe for an hour to eat normal food and attempt to work. Have to take advantage when the time allows! : )
