    Why hello there, Mr. Monarch. I’ve been waiting for you.
    This summer has not been what I expected. Not that I’m disappointed, but I thought if a person should grow over the course of a year, it wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) happen over the course of just a couple of months. As much as I’ve become more settled, I’ve become less settled. I’ve become more confident about some things, and less sure about others. I’ve realized where I’m most grounded, with the help and insight from my family. I’ve made new goals, and changes to old goals.

    I’ve pulled back, as I’ve been going through this transition, because honestly when this much stuff is swirling around in my head and important decisions are being made, It’s overwhelming. Writing seemed an impossible task, and you’ve heard less from me than you’ve seen lately.

    It’s not that I haven’t wanted to write, I just haven’t been able to write. I’m relating more to the things I see when I’m alone with my camera, and the things I feel when I paint. I’ve been needing more of that time, craving more of that time, and in a few weeks, I’ll have more of that time. With that will come peace, ingenuity, creativity.

    Also, I’ll be able to pay more attention to you. My friends, my “fans”, you who appreciate nature, who love a daily dose of creativity topped with a spark of enthusiasm. You’re a big part of the reason I’m still here, and an even bigger part of why I’m so ready and willing to make changes. As I grow, you grow with me, and I love the bond that creates.

    I’m a little nervous, but excited. I’m also a little ambiguous, but you love that about me, don’t you?

    I’m here. And I hear ya.

    As for “not writing…not able to write”, for someone who hasn’t been able to, you’ve done a damn fine job of it.

    And I really love the photos and paintings and…EVERYTHING!

    i think you communicate more through your photography than words, it’s the artist thing in you. you and i could take the exact same photo, of the exact same thing, and i guarantee you, yours would have that something extra, it would sparkle, you see something in nature that i don’t, until i see your photos. and that’s what i love about you and your blog.

    I wonder if it’s just that sometimes we’re more comfortable using one part of our brain more than another? Sometimes I can’t write at all, but I can play with fabric and colors all day.

    So I completely understand, and I’ll be here for you, even if I don’t comment all the time.

    Expression comes in many forms, just as we have five senses to perceive unique qualities of this world. A sigh when things become overwhelming, a caress to express love and concern, a photo to remember the moment, a rose whose fragrance lasts a lifetime, and a kiss when only chocolate can comfort. 😀 Variety is the spice, and sometimes the solace, of life.
