Beautiful Line


Beautiful line: 

there are some key themes to which I return to, ideas I often write of, this is a blog that serves of self-interest, allowing my thoughts to wander and explore. I write to be creative with the things that come to mind, not firm in any spiritual belief other than what the moment holds. With this in mind I grant myself the freedom to be wrong, or at least so in the opinions of others. My only real goal here is to create and share, a personal agenda of expressing a singular beautiful line somewhere within an entire page of writing, and with that one line completed, I feel joyful as a writer, a mission now accomplished. 

of course I hold these topics as important to me, my life has been drawn to meditation and it's tradition, yoga, non-dual philosophies, all things science and nature. Everything is tied to these themes, my writing circles around them all, playing with ideas that best fit my current mood and understanding, sifting through phrases until that hoped for beautiful line is finally delivered. 

and virtually none of this is planned, I generally arrive to the page only minutes after meditation and begin my writing as soon as my fresh cup of coffee is made, a ritual now of words and waiting, content to sip my coffee until an idea stirs me into writing. Generally it comes to these familiar topics, my interests are here, my life based upon exploring these concepts, curious as to how they will unfold. It seems that I am thoroughly an artist, as even my daily existence is a creative act, everything in service of a beautiful expression, however it might appear through me, 

so the meaning here is beauty, every theme and idea circles this, honing close, letting go of favored words and phrases that refuse to work together, symmetry is in mind, that it all should be a lyrical flow or nothing will be written at all. A beautiful line,yes, just one, built within a theme of interest, a layered text to deliver its expression. That's my true pursuit, my only aim of writing....

and it doesn't have to even be completed. 

I am content to be here every morning, joyful, simply doing as I am this very moment - 

writing, waiting, another sip of coffee, 

somewhere within these words...perhaps a beautiful line is written.
