Intuition in Writing and Life

I didn't know what to blog about today. I was leaning towards talking about Natalie Goldberg. In particular about her book, Wild Mind which I recently received for my birthday. But I don't feel I've read enough of it. And I thought about writing about happiness, or optimism. And yet the topic I gravitated to today seemed to have to do with the fact that there was a period of time recently — days and days — that I simply didn't blog. When I reflect upon it I don't really know why. I either didn't make the time, or I was elsewhere occupied.

What is true is that I am happy and relieved as well to do what I very much enjoy… even love… doing. Writing. And, I write today without being critical of what I'm writing because being critical — self evaluative — means that I'm not being in my experience of the moment. If I'm not in my experience, my genuine thoughts, that reflect the "real voice," I talked about yesterday in my blog, definitely won't be represented. So, here I am, not writing about Natalie Goldberg who has influenced me a great deal. What I believe is that I need to re-read the entire book that I read so long ago before I know what my real voice wants to say about it.

I'm trusting my intuition. In life as in writing, trusting our intuition is what makes things work out well.
