That Old Cyclical Feeling

We are finite beings that cannot thrive in a 24/7 world. No matter how much we would like it to be otherwise it’s just the way it is. This is best illustrated in the fact that we live our lives in cycles. Spring follows winter. Then summer, fall and winter again. The moon waxes from full to nothingness and back again. On a personal level we sleep each night to wake refreshed, hopefully, each morning. Creative ideas are plucked out of the air like apples from a tree one day, and the next we only increase the depth of the divot in the couch.

Anyone that follows my blog will know I am completely at the mercy of these tidal forces. The creative energy flows in and I write. Out and I twitter away my time. I am learning though, if slowly. Rather than fight my inherit nature I am have accepted reality and am studying my patterns. In the hope that I can determine how to sustain the high times a bit longer so my life does not end as a hodgepodge of unfinished projects.

Wish me luck…

I like the way you think about the cyclical things in life.... so many are so far removed from the forces of nature that impact us!
