The Waiting Game…
I thought that posting about our difficulties would help my perspective, and it did, up to a point.
My mind is still hunting for a way to do everything, even though you and I know this is impossible. Not without a lot of tweaks, anyway.
I read another post yesterday about the importance of taking a break from our writing. I am sure you have all read posts like this, too. That it can trigger new surges of brilliance and productivity. I wanted to see if this method can work for all our other troubles too.
All we have to do to achieve this miracle is to put them in a mental holding box and walk away.
Years ago, I would have waded in and tried to bulldoze my way to a solution, but this particular problem involves more than just me, so I am letting it stew for a while, hoping it melts away like spring snow. I seriously hope it does, for I have run out of patience!
I have done this many times with various problems, and I know that removing the thing with the blockage, even for a little while, does, in some peculiar way, help the flow to resume.
This method also works for those hard-to-resolve situations, so I am betting that it might work on anything once you have isolated the problem.
Of course, and from experience, I know that once you have walked away from anything, there is always the fear that you won’t return, which is probably why most of us are reluctant to risk it.
I have ignored this particular problem long enough; it is probably time to do something constructive.
Most important is my health. So busy making sure my sister’s health is being carefully managed I have been neglecting my own needs. I hope that recent tests will answer many questions, and hopefully, I can get the good part of me back.
So, while all this is in the pipeline, I have been taking a few days off. My brain will continue to look for answers, even while I sort the garden out.
