Prompting
I randomly put a meditation on the other night, one that had popped up on my news feed on U Tube. This was a dream life energy activation. Now into my retirement, there are not a lot of things calling out to me. If I was younger, I am sure I would be seeking my next venture by now but because of my age I don’t have so many expectations. I think I started thinking about a smaller self, when I went into imagining my ideal future. My weight, as documented in previous blogs, gives me some level of consternation. I would love to be 20 or 30 kilos lighter.
But what happened as I was doing this meditation was that instead of seeing a slimmer me, I saw two books on a table, one the Naughty Nana-Reah story I have written and the second, a book of poems, plus, just out of eyesight, but not awareness, two other books. I had told my writing group ages ago that I intended to write a book of poems, but had been left feeling disheartened when I realised just how much I didn’t know about metre.
However, following that meditation, I powered back into my editing. I have had to rewrite the poems, taking about two hours each and now I am on the better side of halfway. Seeing the finished book in the meditation was the inspiration I needed. I now know that that book does become a reality. As for the other, it is with my niece awaiting illustrations. I am not sure how long that will take, but I it has given me a renewed sense of enthusiasm realizing this one also does get completed.
As for the other two, it was like I knew they were there, but couldn’t quite see them. There could have even been three. I have no idea what they will be about but there is plenty of work to do to get these two into print firstly.
I am so grateful for that meditation as I had lost a bit of focus of late. I had almost forgotten that writing them had been an intention of mine in the first place. The kids one had been with the editor for so long that I had lost a bit of interest.
However, I am now refocused and energized. I am not sure still whether I have the metre right, but they are certainly better than they were before the editing. Then there will be another dozen or so to write.
Work to do.
