Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

Someday

I found this quote on Brain Pickings.  Oh how I hope this will be my writer's life.  =)

Joy William's Daily Writing Routine


This is her day:
Tea and fruit in the morning, then four or five hours of solid work, a salad for lunch. A nap, in which my lost loved ones come to me and tell me they’re happy and still love me, a walk through bird-songed woods, followed by several more hours of oxygenated work. Drinks with friends, each more accomplished and interesting than the other, then bed, windows flung open to the soothing pounding of the sea, turning rock over rock, all messages which will fuel the morrow’s pages coming to me in friendly and artful dreams…

What would you do?

Oh my goodness, the list is so long.  I have this image of what I'd like heaven to be.  It would be one life time after another where I could do all the things I want to do.  Live a life as a writer, a photographer, a painter, a musician, an actress, a homemaker, an architect and so on.  In each of these lives I would live that life to the fullest doing that thing.  There are just too many things to do, and so much in the way of doing them.

This cracks me up.

Rumi

My work situation is kind of bleak at the moment.  There's lots of unrest, distrust and uncertainty swirling about.  I read this poem by Rumi, and it is exactly what I needed to hear right now.


When Words Are Tinged With Lying

Muhammad gave this indication of how to know what's
real. "When you feel

a peaceful joy, you're near the truth.  Unquiet and
off center, jealous or

greedy, what you do seems pretentious and those around
you insincere. Speak

the clearest truth you know, and let the disease heal."
If words are tinged with

lying, they're like water dripping into an oil lamp. The
wick won't light, and

the pleasure and rest of your love room will diminish.

~ Rumi

silent pull


You know, I've been working so hard at listening to and recognizing what my soul is truly yearning for, and I have to tell you amazing things have happened as a result.  All of a sudden doors have flung open, and my life  has started actively changing.  I feel myself moving faster and faster every day.  It is truly amazing. =)

happy?

I'm working on it!!  Seriously though, I have been.  I started being proactive in my life, and have made moves to get out from under the things that are making me miserable.  Even though I am working really hard right now, I am really happy.  I am happy because I can not only feel, but I can see my life moving.  It is wonderful!!

Side note:  I had to make these flowcharts for my old job, and they are kind of hard.  Just saying.

Procrasti-nation

I love this so much.  I tweeted that I live in Napland, but spend a lot of time in Surfside.
