What I Most Want


What I most want: 

what I most want is a moment to myself of pure creativity, waking early to prepare for time at my desk, meditation, yoga, coffee at hand - and then my wish is to be a channel, open to whatever words that wish to find me. That's how I start my day, every morning, and it's not so much to support a goal as it is to allow my authentic voice to speak before it's filled by the noise of the world, news, media and its incessant voice demeaning my attention.  

what I most want is for this moment to be my own.

and write from the silence that is found here.

my writing is beyond judgement, even my own. It's completely selfish, not meant to make a point or offer anything of value aside from the joy I find in its expression. Writing is my gift, and I don't mean by talent, but of simply allowing myself the pleasure of words and their proper arrangement on the page, What I most want is to be struck by beauty, just one line that lights me with a smile of recognition - that this, these few words, came from somewhere far beyond my current place of mind, a point of deep silence just slightly caressed by the breath of inspiration. 

it's here, from where beautiful words arrive, this interior silence of the mind.

so what I most want, really can't be told, it's not words, nor even the creativity of their arrangement - it's that point of deep silence and then that slight breath of inspiration, arriving as a whisper so soft as to not be heard by ears, but registered more truly as vibrations, felt by the soul and only then translated into the form of beautiful words. 

what I most want, deeply so...is that soft moment of recognition,

as silence shows itself as the seamless hold of words.
