one shudders, of course, to make a judgement about such a trivial matter, but I expect that this experiment will prove a success.

Posted from my HTC Mogul

This theme is Journalist, and I got it from the Wordpress theme directory here.  I kinda like it, but I don’t know if I’ll keep it.  It’s clean, anyway. 

The title has a double meaning, too; as I am wending my way through early fall up here in the North-land, I am trying to keep my outlook positive.  It’s a fact that I have stopped feeling so stuck, and have instead been trying to be responsible for my situation.  All is well, and that is as it should be. 

Ask me how I feel once the snow falls, and the clouds move in.  For some reason I hate that winter sunset at around 4:00 PM with thick clouds and that orange-pink flat light that seems to take away what little hope you might have.  More than that, it is a mockery of hope itself, reminding you that the winter always comes back, and everything passes away. 

See? Optimism!

But what I was trying to come up with yesterday, or earlier this week, that of a fallen leaf frozen in clear ice, seemed to have some evocative depth.  It might still, but I can’t find the right way to make it do what I want it to do.  That’s the flow state; when a few minutes of writing turns into 45 minutes or an hour trying to fit a vision or an idea into a structure.  Sometimes, like in this case, I have to let go of the idea, but it’s always worth a few minutes to see.  It’s almost like trying to put a puzzle together without seeing the picture, or, rather that the picture won’t appear until all the pieces are in place.

I know, I’m kinda awesome.  Nothing else much to report, just getting through day by day.

I think I’ll have some more to add later, maybe, becasue I’m working on a metaphor!  Spooky!
