Last night I dreamed that I was angry and feeling trapped about something so I went walking with a young fellow - less than half my age - but he didn't chatter he just let me walk until I couldn't walk anymore. I propped myself up on a ledge and said "I am so sick of this all - I just feel trapped. I don't do anything but work - I am not creating anything anymore. What is the matter?". He stood there looking off into the sky - then he turned to me and said, "I have heard that one could take a little stick like thing with some thread and make beautiful things".
Hummmmmmmm yes I could - sticklike? that could me a needle, crochet hook, knitting needles but I choose to think of a crochet hook.
I looked up at him and said "Yes and i have heard that one can take a needle, some thread and beads and make beautiful jewelry too."
We laughed and headed for the craft shop we had just past.
What does this say? I am thinking it means we are only trapped if we allow ourselves to be trapped - if we don't listen to what our hearts are saying. There are so many things I want to do but my head keeps saying 'no money', 'gotta finish this', 'gotta do that', 'have to read this or that'
Well by the time I get done arguing with my head I am so tired - not physically - that I don't want to do anything so I start out the next morning exactly where I started the day before. Today I did something different than what I thought I should - I did some crocheting and finished of the soles for a pair of worn out slipper socks. Then I will correct a mistake I made on a pair of earrings I made so I can wear them - they are so beautiful. What is going to happen to all the emails I have? Well I guess they will have to wait and I will only do what I want to - not try to read them all. I think it is time to be a little more sellective on how much I read and do on the computer.

I agree with you. I get on when I can not when I think I should. I really don't have a lot of friends that respond but that is fine. The friends I have are keepers. What you wrote made me take a look at myself. I am so worried and hell bent on keeping my house clean. I mean I do s--- at midnight so it will be done when I get up. Sick, sick, sick. Therapist keeps saying, step over it, leave the dishes, forget the vacuum for a week or two. I believe that is what you are saying in a different way. Man that will/would be hard for me to do. So that means when I die they will say, geez her house was always clean. That is not exactly how I want to be remembered. I plan on getting lost in your book, IF IT WILL GET HERE. I have an order #. I will just send you a hug telling you I got it so you can see the pic. Ok talking to much. I am not worried if you are not online...I know your there. Love Naomi xo

Yes, I am in total agreement with you... sometimes we get a little too caught up in the computer and escape from ourselves and what is happening around us. While we garner so much satisfaction in supporting and helping others, there is also gratification to be had in creation. That's why I enjoy cooking so much - instant gratification, appreciation of a wonderful meal - nourishment for the soul as well as the spirit sometimes.
I am glad you walked with your friend and saw a new light. I hope you will create and do more for your spirit - to heal.
