Dormant for Now
So I feel like I'm going through major mental block. A million things go through my mind every day but when it comes to being productive - I am content to sit in front of the TV and revel in brain-numbing marathons of any of my fave shows. What is happening to me?
The craft of writing, designing, creating, is also elusive as of late. Tragic n'est pas?
My dad is a dream guy, a modern day Joseph if you may. He said that when my siblings and I were born, he had a dream for each. The dream he had when I was born was a vision of a great volcano - big, bad, powerful and lava everywhere.
So he said that God was telling him that no matter what I got involved in, that it would be huge and spectacular. That I would never do things small but it would be "Go big or Go home".
The downside of being this crazy volcano? That I would never be the person to complete things neatly or be the one to continue the same work over and over. It's true, I am not the kind of person who can keep doing the same thing over an over. I am not the kind of person who is good at tying up last little loose ends after the big event is done - i.e. cleaning up after making a huge meal, wedding thank you cards, etc.
So just waiting for the next big eruption of genius - until then, since I'm not going big, I guess I'm going home! Even us volcanoes have our dormant periods right?
P.S. My brother and sister have interesting "life" dreams too. Maybe I'll tell you sometime.
