Thank you for tweeting me to this post! Wonderful. GF
I felt the need to clarify and clean up space2live’s vision and purpose. I feel better now.;)
As odd as this sounds, I don’t always make time to make space in my world lately. I have a ton of open time, but ideas used to come to me in the car. I don’t take drives anymore. I usually have the tv on for background noise/company. I was thinking I had to have silence, and, lately, I am alone so frequently that silence is more of a mental enemy than a friend and music can have the same disconnection from the world. However, this brought back to me that there are other ways to be still and allow the creativity to come. I need to think it through and use them because lately my issue has been that my creativity well is dry, therefore, deterring me from writing. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet to open myself up again, but you spurred my thoughts.
I do know that the base of my excitement stems from interacting with people, looking for the golden unique souls.
Excitement is happiness which for me, seems to come mostly from the external. Golden souls ARE a major source of excitement and peace. Contentment and peace come from the inside, which is where I tune into when I find still space. I’m learning that I need both excitement and peace, yin and yang. I have to make space for both. Thanks so much for reading and commenting Debbi.:)

I too dig the picture of the lass a la natural in the meadow: my kind of imagery. John Lahr put out a picture book 40 years ago about esthetic appreciation, there was a backside view of a young lady on a motorcycle, a Godiva back view. You’ve got this terrific sense of life–thoreauvian, Elizabethan, throw in Swinburne too. You’re a course in humanities. You’re like Emerson’s letter to Whitman welcoming Leaves of Grass. You sure have a stronghold in obeying the urge to write which seems daily. You’re tempted to mix the rhetoric of pop psychology with your poetical voice. Let your charm override what you’ve read–let your charm take charge. Write like no other authority, taste the words, Uelandize. Uelandize. Penetrate the softsell and suburban mother: embrace the reader like you would sitting with someone in lounge chairs. You’re not giving up the Oscar Wilde, the aestheticism–you’re delightful. Give us the sensibility of Wilde to the hilt, without apprehension. You’re a spectrum of Eastern religion and high-cult Hallmark, child brilliance and intellectual savvy, classic and commercial. You’re pert and mystic, articulate to a tee and executive secretary with taste. Yes, taste sparkles your sentences, your replies. You’re sunny with taste, and you have an appetite for books of all sorts. Ah, books. You’re this competent swan of a writer, glimmering always. I stand on the bank and praise you for your power to enliven. You’re no mere flash in the pan. You dash off aphorisms, truths. You have a flair for telling and you know words. You have sensibility to the hilt, it’s exciting to behold you and compare you with the literary heritage, as well as realizing you own your style. I’m happy to see this apprenticeship blooming into spectacular. Bill Ogle
Oh my! Remind me to tap you if I ever need an endorsement for a book cover.;) I’m still a little uneasy with letting my charm override what I’ve read. I’m not sure how charming I am… Thanks for always standing with me. You should be a book reviewer or critic Mr. Bill. You have a flair for it. Your words have color and flow and meaning. Your feedback regarding speaking from the girl in the meadow and Uelandizing was just what I needed. The perfect reminder to write from my heart and as if I am having coffee with a dear friend. Bren
Yes, the lass in the meadow says it all: I urge you to check out Palgrave’s Golden Treasury. Let the poetry flow without the restraints of technical sanitation and how-tos: your spirit is the how-to, let the Wilde out, be the girl in the meadow, show us things we haven’t seen or are afraid to: refresh like you do. Let the style flow like my passage about actress KIm Novak:
Where the hell has Kim been? What’s she been up to? Gold basking under the recall order from Venus? Naw, venus surrendered to her. She’s just been ha8unting us like a hot little locket ghost. She twinkled like Garbo on Larry King, while scenes from her paintbox danced for our pleasure: Picnic, Vertigo and those bedroom farces.
There! Bill Ogle
Hmmm. Ok thank you for the feedback. I do feel like I am often torn between writing poetically, comically or knowledgably. I enjoy and like to share all three.:) Spiritually I am the girl in the meadow. I breathe easily when my words flow from her.:)
The Kim Novak imagery is lovely.*
I look forward to following your journey as I live my own
Glad to be journeying together.:)
