| An Open Door |
I have observed of late, and I intimated as much in a recent comment, that over the last few months I have experienced a growing sense of weariness. I have therefore decided to take a rest from writing for a few weeks. During this period I hope to assess where I am with Gwynt, and where I wish to go in the future. It will also include, hopefully, getting some sleep free of disturbing dreams. When one refuses to listen to inner promptings, doors begin to close. I intend that my inner doors shall remain open.
Tom, may you have a rest as lovely as this watercolour and may the open door lead to nchanted and enchanting gardens, visible and invisible.
ReplyDeleteNatalie, thank you for your kind wishes. Glad you like the watercolour.
ReplyDeleteSleep peacefully, rest well, Tom.
ReplyDeleteSee you again on the other side of the doorway.
Hullo Martha; I will certainly try to do that. See you!
ReplyDelete(It seems my comment went into the ether thanks to google. I'll try again...)
ReplyDeleteI wish you peaceful thoughts and a good rest, Tom. May that path through the door represented in you Lovely watercolour lead you to new discoveries towards a quiet and calm spirit.
I've been away and out of touch, now slowly catching up.
Marja-Leena; Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHope those weary blues dissipate with restful dreamless sleep! Prost!
ReplyDeleteThere may be something "going around" Tom for I have been contemplating a blogging hiatus as well.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a sweeter dream time.
We will meet again no doubt, perhaps on the far side of your doorway.
Rouchswalwe; We share the same hopes.
ReplyDeleteHalle; No doubt at all!
ReplyDeleteWhen one is deep in contemplation it's difficult to maintain a public diary without risking having the thoughts about the thoughts overwhelm the subtlety of the process. Though I'll miss you in the meanwhile, your decision is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThe watercolour is indeed a beauty.
Susan; You have put beautifully into words something which has been hovering on the edge of my mind. Thank you for that clarification, your missing me, and for your comment on the watercolour.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a peaceful interlude Tom and may autumn's mellow days bring serenity to your soul
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia. You have all been so very kind.
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping me out Tom.
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to know that I won't miss out on anything while I give my thinking a rest.
Your watercolour speaks to me. Tiring to walk up those steps and open that heavy door but it can be done and is worth doing it.
Love it. My wish for you is a sabbatical that helps you keep your inner doors open.
Ellena; Thank you for your kind wishes. Is it not strange that that picture of mine is saying more than I originally imagined. You are so correct; the stairway has been tiring to climb, but it feels as if it is hands other than mine that hold open the door.
ReplyDeleteAn open door is always a symbol of hope and interest. I hope we may be afforded the chance of peeping inside again soon.
ReplyDeleteJoe; Thank you. It will not be too long I feel.
ReplyDeleteTom, it is important to find a pacing if one wishes to more or less be constant with this thing. It is no different from any other steady pace. None of them are effortless. And like they say these days in fitness circles, it is good to find a confusion as well, a way to change up within the effort in order to break up the routine. There are minimum efforts and maximums as well, times of day changes, ways to blog ahead or at the last minute, ways to stay shallow or dive deep. Even novelists will over time shift forms and all in order to last. When I was employed one of my greatest gifts was that my work was so varied. I would personally never have succeeded without that. Now the blogging is like that for me. I do enjoy your posts.
ReplyDeleteChristopher; Thank you for your comment. Dimly, I was beginning to feel that my blogging was becoming more and more too rigidly structured. But I wasn't sure, and was I simply looking for an opt-out solution? Your wise comment shows me otherwise, that I need to introduce some much-needed variability.
ReplyDeleteI always find your comments valuable. Thank you again.
