Points of Light, I feel I need to renew my oath, the oath that declares all the love I have for every one of you. For the last month I visited a place where I had no desire to write. It made everything in my life seem weird and distorted. It seemed to be a vast place that lacked a single trace of any feeling or emotion, the breath we need to live free and remain alive. I thank God I've finally left this place behind!
Complacency is a place not worth the visit. If you're in that area, get away from there, leave it behind, and please, don't look back. I was just there and guess what I did... nothing. For me, that meant writing never crossed my mind. That place, well it's a place I want to revisit as much as that guy in The Screamer painting wants to revisit the place, he found himself in when he screamed.
How do I describe not writing to you? Not writing is like looking at a picture of beauty that's both true and pure - say of a woman just being and looking soft - only to have no ability to take in all of her beauty, a beauty that wants to make my heart so happy it just can't help but smile. My heart wants to smile, but my heart has to be receptive to everything going on around me, like when I literally just had a chance to see that picture I mentioned. With a happy heart, I can write about all the light that produced all the colors of her beauty, then my heart can smile. Goodbye, complacency. Hello Joy!
Love and Peace,
Tod /only one d
