Writing, blogging, journaling, I believe, is a practice that teaches me better than any other activity the elusive art of solitude and understanding how to be present with myself, witness my thoughts, experience completely, and fully inhabit my inner life, especially as my outer life declines. I’ve always had an irresistible fascination with the personal diaries and writing of other artists. They let me know that “it is not just me”. Well…sometimes it isn’t just me. I love that creatives will admit to feelings that most people are afraid to even think about. I suspect that may be part of our creative inspiration, whether it is visual or written creativity. I recognize, just like in journaling, a craving to experience and expose.
