The liberation!
I spent the weekend at the Bendigo Writers Festival, an amazing weekend of learning from talented successful people. And would you believe that I felt at home? Huh!
I am still buzzing from the advice, excitement, the learning and ideas. I felt like I had tapped into this piece of myself that I had forgotten was there. I know it was always there because I recognised it like an old friend when I saw and felt it.
I had a number of moments of clarity, and an idea that formed. This idea is like the seed of a tree, only I don't know how large this tree will grow. I do know that the seed has been there for many years, and now the conditions are just right and it has germinated. In fact I can actually see it growing, poking up through the organic earth. This seed wants to grow and grow, and I need to feed it.
I can't wait to watch my tree grow, to see its beautiful form, it's textures and the sounds it makes, to see how large it grows, what the canopy looks like, whether it will have dappled light come through it, or be open to allow the full blazing sun.
My idea is already more than an idea, it is a being. It is.
