I have a rock that sits on my bedside table. One side says, “WRITE!!!!” The other side says, “Savor the stream of life.”
Right now, I’m mainly doing the latter. I’m spending a lot of time going out, experiencing New Orleans. I’ll write today, and maybe a couple of days next week. But I’m also going out to listen to music, dance, and play.
Savor.
I have an itching need to write. Every time I sit down to do it I get a complete rush. I feel full to brimming with Story.
But I’m still taking more in. I have so little time left here. I have a feeling I may “hermit” for a while when I get back to Seattle, spend a few weeks processing all that I’ve experienced. Write and write and write.
Today, though, it’s time to go to a jazz brunch with friends. Savor more food, friendship, and music.
I hope ya’ll are finding the right balance for yourselves.
