Overcoming Writer's Block

Well, I've had writer's block lately, so I am writing this to overcome it. I recall the wise words that I received in response to an interview question I posed to Manan Katohora. I asked him how he overcomes writer's block. He said,

"Write something else."

Sometimes, I want to write indefinately, as I am flooded with thoughts, words, feelings, etc. & would like to share them with the world. I feel like I could write about hundreds of things, but have to consider what is worth it or most important, etc. since I obviously can't write about everything.

I am a bit concerned sometimes about how others will perceive what I write, but I suppose that is par for the course while I embrace free thought, creative expression, freedom of expression, etc.

Actually, for years, no one read my blogs - not even ME! Ha ha ha! Now I write with an audience. Hmm, not bad, just different. Kinda' like going to a nudist colony!

I remind myself that it doesn't matter what others think of me, as long as I am being true to myself. If someone doesn't like me, that is okay. I don't like everyone I meet, either - but on a spiritual level, I am sure I love them, since we are all connected, related, interconnected on some level(s).

I am still at a loss about how to write about my Swamiji experiences, having written only a little & feeling a bit embarrassed at how little I've written about such an advanced Soul who has touched my life in such a profound way. Words simply fall short, perhaps this is why I don't use them.

I've been cleaning my apartment, focusing on my messy room. I'm embarrassed but fortunately, don't have many guests. I still had to finish unpacking from my trips to NYC. Still recovering from a cold. I've been sick w/ flu & cold since I returned from NY. I don't really miss it anymore!

Have I written enough now?
