June 1: My Life Has Shrunk
::Blink,
Blink::
I have that feeling this morning that I
am looking for something that is not there. Ideas flicker at the corners of my
consciousness the way images can slide around the edge of vision, disappearing
when full attention is paid. Like a woman searching for the back of an earring
on a thick carpet, I wonder if the idea is really even there at all to be found.
If it is there, perhaps it has bounced beyond the area where it seems logical to
look for it. If there is an idea, and I do find it, it will seem like a minor
miracle.
In other words, I am
feeling allergic, sniffly, and excessively stupid this morning. Neither Kleenex
nor web-surfing have brought inspiration and my bleary eyes are tired of staring
at phosphors on a screen, hoping for the brain to wake up and start producing
something (anything). Today is one of those days when my life seems to have
shrunk to the dimensions of this search for something to say, something to write
about.
Therefore, in best WoT?
style, I have produced nothing, in three paragraphs. If the idea shows up later
today, it will serve for tomorrow's inspiration. Have a lovely
Wednesday.
