This is my 500 for 12/7/2017

Little hiccups… words and thoughts repeating doubt and remorse.. all based in fear.. all thoughts limited by my own limitless beliefs. Squares inside of circles.. and lines are drawn outside the book. The tap. The course we are on is only for the individual to travel.. we all have our own course. Maybe something needs to be done. I say that again and again.. just as I repeat that we are not alone. We look up to the stars for answers.. forgetting that we are creators.. creators of the illest of intentions.. creators of peace and of war… but dwelling…

I wonder what will come out today.. in this moment I am alive.. in the next, I am thinking about the last moment. Caught in a self-imposed loop at times but learning to withdraw from the madness.. the same madness that, so often, connects us, albeit on a more superficial level of thought. We are here for so much more than a superficial connection. We are here for so much more than we often think. Why have we lost sight of this? Why have we forgotten to cherish these moments? To cherish all life? Have we never really been at…

Type type type type flow with the keys.. like fingers rolling along the notes on a piano.. rolling from one melody to the next… searching for a rhythm and finding a beat... feeling the bass flutter with a thought of life.. heart beating in unision.. wondering where the next idea will come from...   I am so hung up on trying to find perfection.   I have to learn to just let go. This place is not for me alone.. this life we have is shared. We are all looking for answers in the same sandbox.. building and smashing dreams..…

Tap tap tap… tapping away at the keyboard… pressing away the pain.. pressing forward in my mind, thoughts and fears. I wonder if others care to notice. I wonder if that is what drives me. I think that there is something else.. I recognize that this progress is not sustainable without a feeling that I am contributing towards a greater cause.. something that we are all connected to.. similar to something that presses for the advancement of the fellow that sits alongside us in the bunker. Because we are all in this fight together… we are all at war with…

Locate the self. Pull it all in. You know the person that you are when you collect your thoughts… place them all in a jar and light them on fire.. what burns away are the temporary.. the fleeting material possessions that we are convinced make us better people. I want to learn to live with less… the goal in life is the experience that I wish to create.. the experience that I paint is a piece of art that is being added to.. constantly.. and I am the only one that decides when it is done. But what if the…

Dammit. I waited until the end of the night to begin this project and now I have to pull myself out of this half slumber. At least my stomach is stuffed with Fat Burger… it was an unhealthy, albeit satisfying amount for me to consume.. no wonder I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open right now… I have to get to bed soon… I was thrown off today and that’s what I want to talk about for a little bit here.. I reached a peak state of energy this morning, stoked for the day and eager to…

Well, here we are again… at last… we meet again… I feel like these quick little writing sessions are like fighting a mini-boss at the end of a level… maybe it has something to do with the music that is pumping through the speakers right now… I could tone it down with a little soft classical music, but the drive and the rattling of my mind would slow me in my writing… I aim for high energy.. aiming for a high energy physiology.. in my writing… in my face-to-face conversation.. understanding that the connections we make are the only things…

I don’t know what it is that is causing me to delay. The fresh new fears of rejection or the thoughts that feedback about this writing will make me want to curl up into a ball. The fact remains, that something is better than nothing… at least for me. I mean, I am much better off writing something and posting it if I am interested in improving my writing skills… feedback is such a necessary part of this beast. It’s not like I am curing cancer… but for me, it is something that is important that I at least do.…

I am working to update this blog with more regular content. One of the ideas that I am playing with is utilizing an already existing daily ritual I have of writing a minimum of 500 words as quickly as possible and just seeing what comes out. A lot of times it doesn't make sense. Actually, it rarely makes sense. But the reason why I am going to start posting these exercises here on the daily is that I know that done is better than perfect. So, think of these half-baked posts as, well, half-baked. I hope it ends up tasting…

9 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD FREEWRITE … EVERY DAY

Peter
Each day that starts off on the right foot begins with a kiss from Mari and a cup of really good, black coffee from our French Press but it is on the mornings that I find time to free write that my day takes on a new meaning.. thoughts, fears, emotions.. all puked out onto the page for my conscious mind to digest... Often times, it's just more of the same anxious dribble bubbling up to the surface that reminds me what it is that is draining me of my energies.  Writing provides an outlet for all of that excess…
