Germination

Somehow the calendar says it is mid-June. The weather outside is still saying March, with an occasional short lapse into May. My mind believes it is still April, because that was the last time I can remember having time to think. The days have just been too busy.

A more thoughtful blogger wrote about her decision to cut back on writing for her blog, saying she needed to have both feet in the three dimensional world right now. I have been feeling overwhelmed by all that's going on in my three dimensional world, and wish I could carve out more space to think. That's partly why I started this blog; if I am going to write things down and publish them, it pushes me to work out my thoughts and follow where they lead. So what happens when I don't have time to do that? I get swallowed up by everything that's going on, and can't seem to climb back into this space and close the door for a bit.

So I won't list all the things that have been making me crazy and keeping me occupied. I will just keep trying to nurture these little seeds and hope that they will grow when I finally get time to plant them. And I will make that time, somehow. [Actually, I know where that time is going to come from, since starting tomorrow I am relieved of middle school homework monitoring duty for the next 11 weeks...]
