I Will Be Writing | 11.23.20
 |
Been thinking about the things we do that keep us sane, the habits, the hobbies. For me, as long as I can remember, it’s been writing. I wrote as a boy, trying to make sense of my busy brain long before diagnosis of Autism came. I wrote to survive my classes in school, to escape the noise of the teacher, of the students, of a barrage of sensory attacks. I wrote poetry, songs, sometimes just my own name over and again as a way to escape. I do, still, and I always will. Writing, for me, is the only way I know to make sense of the chaos in my mind, it’s the only place where I can just open like a tap and let all the clutter out. This, precisely this, is why I do not edit what I write, I do not censor it or try to mold it into something it does not wish to be. I write to be free, and this is all. The fact that people are willing to read anything that comes out, the fact that so many of you beautiful souls have found it, perplexes me, and means more than I know how to say. I write so I breathe, and thank you, for hearing these sighs.
I write so I breathe,
and as long as I'm breathing
I will be writing.

Wow.... I've been an English teacher for twenty years (so I've followed the process of a lot of writers) and an avid follower of all things metaphysical (in my spare time). So much has been said about how neurodivergent people are here in higher numbers than ever to raise the frequency of the planet. What you describe as your process supports that theory. If your mind taps into language and creates with the kind of fluency that reaches into the rest of us and lights a spark (and it does), then you're nothing short of a light worker. You translate human experience into things our hearts understand...and moving anyone out of their head and into their heart raises their frequency. What you describe as "opening a tap" sounds a lot like channeling to me...sounds like Spirit has found a pen through you. So.....just keep shining like you do, Lighthouse. Apparently you came to this lifetime with important and beautiful work with words to do and it just happens to be your gift to the rest of us.
Writing is so cleansing, and I love this reflection, as well as the poem. I also have been writing since childhood. Reading is also a part of me constantly. This is a wonderful insight into your writing style. I get stuck with too many ideas! I love your music choices. Thanks again so much.
