Sometimes I think about writing and then all of these thoughts starts swirling through my head about topics that are heavy on my mind and heart. I pick at one, look it over, and then try to grab another as it swims by. Then I begin to think about the connections between the two thoughts and just as I'm about to have them nicely tied together, another thought begins to circle me. I pick that one up too. And another. Oh, that reminds me... then another. Before I know it I have all these thoughts that I'm trying desperately to hold onto and quickly try to place priority on the most important, relevant, and captivating thought. I then realize that I'm holding on to far too many topics - connecting them all would be like trying to construct a symmetrical web out of a mess of tangled threads. I decide that right now I just don't have time to sort through them all, isolate one, and present it in a way that is comprehensible. With this realization I drop all the topics on my mind, realize there is now something else I need to be doing, and walk away resolving to come back and try again another day.
This is why my posts have month gaps between them. This is why I have so much to say this morning but can not arrive at a starting point for I can't foresee a tidy ending. Any suggestions from my fellow blogger / writers out there?
