Make a Decision.

People are making things; cups of tea, mistakes, plans, art, love, babies, memories, create, create, create. Perhaps it’s all we can do. Make a decision! Make a friend! Make a difference! And so, what am I making? I used to make so many things. Do I still? A creative episode could be a singular event. To be a creative is a disposition, an unavoidable truth and one that in my experience can often feel like a hindrance.

Conversation lead to inspiration. Rang to share our news, heard the city street in the background, heard the fumble as the photo of the scan was opened up on the screen of the phone, heard silence, heard tears, heard happiness. It made me well-up. Made me feel loved and made me feel inspired. I got the dog into the car and headed into town, sat at the desk, wrote things down.

Talk therapy is getting harder the deeper we go.

If you know that ultimately you will arrive at forgiveness, why spend any time in anger? It’s a genuine question. Is there something to be said for anger. Anger is a real thing. But it’s no good marinating in it. Feel what is real but don’t indulge. Aim for forgiveness. And perhaps hardest of all, forgive knowing that only you will know that you have done so.
