I had this same revelation a couple of months ago. My writing spirit had just dried up. I didn't want to anymore. Can you imagine?! Not want to write?? Crazy. Then I realized how obligatory it was. Only the best words were allowed out. In time, I questioned everything before getting it on the page. No wonder the words stopped wanting to play.

When I let myself write exactly what I was thinking, consequences be damned, the wellspring burst open again. Well, until last week but that's just burnout and health issues. Everyone needs a break sometimes. Without the obligation weighing me down, I'm looking forward to writing again when my break is over. And that feeling is priceless. 💕

Dear AM/Joe-Kwame,

it is this diving deep into memories, blockings of your inner self - unworked truth and amicably, lovingly enbrace what and who you are. Take off your mask and become a friend to yourself and what ever happened to you before. Your past is the fundament (-->foundation) of your existence. The ground you build your house of existence upon. Look within - not without.

Moving away from the flesh's existence on Earth opening Transcendental Space. As spiritual teacher Nisar Gadatta Maharaj said: /quote "when we look within and see we are nothing, that is Wisdom. When we look without and see "I am Everything" that is Love. Between within and without Life turns. / unquote. Finding "Nothing" being "Everything" (Universal Existence) is bringing Relief, Freedom, Happiness -> waking up.

Discipline, Courage and Fortitude are the driving forces keeping you going.

Namasté, Joe-Kwame
