The quiet that has descended on the Barley Hut can be attributed to a momentary blockage, though blockage makes it sound like something is being walled off. Perhaps a more apt turn of phrase might be circuitous existentialism, or running in circles. I’ve started four posts within the last week. All of them got caught in a whirlpool of doubt, or flagging energy. One I particularly enjoyed. Entitled “Why Lindsay Lohan is Smarter Than You,” but this too succumbed to my current mood.
I was writing in the Mead Composition Book this morning, knotted sentences, and fragments of disjointed thoughts, when I gave up a drew a picture. It does a better job of illustrating the vortex I’ve entered this week.
I’ll shake it off eventually. I need only remind myself that this too will pass. All things change. There’s a comfort in this. The trick is becoming the source of change, not a reactionary beast at the mercy of contextual chaos. But it’s okay, neither a sad thing, or a bad thing. It just is at this moment, and soon will not be. Ripples in a life.
