Five Months
by Bruce • June 2, 2017 • LifeStuff • 0 Comments
It’s the start of a new month already- the sixth month of the year. 5 are in the books.
There is always the question: “Am I growing?”
I don’t know.
I’ve been good to get a blog post up daily for 5 months straight. I am not sure if you count that as progress. It is a progress in discipline.
I try to write short stories and poems a little more. Maybe the progress is in the trying, the slow whittling of effort against neurons, against linguistic arrangements. And I’ve seen a few things leap from my mind that have made me happy, made me pleased.
In broader life, I am not sure I am growing at all. It’s been a very inside 5 months. Anxieties and concerns and reticence circling within like a sloshing stew.
And time moves forward.
And time moves forward.
And I will change, whether I like how it goes, if I choose to participate in the morphing or not.
In writing, though, I’ve written a lot. Much of it is bland and uninspiring. But I’ve written more decent stuff as well. And that is good.
We’ll see what June brings.
