This is my brain on thinking
I’m on Vision and Verb today with different words to read. My first attempt at creating a post for both sites was a bit too chaotic to let loose in too broad of a space. But okay for here, I think… where I can worry less about embarrassing anyone but myself.
Because sometimes the humor I use under stress can be a bit strange. Like, sometimes I’m the only one who thinks it’s funny.
I know! Weird!
But if I can’t laugh at my myself, then, who can?
So this is my brain on thinking…
Stress is getting to me
I’ve taken on too much
Again
I need more vacation days
Hell, I need more coffee!
Preferably with cream,
which I’m out of
[Brain refires, neurons switch]
which I’m out of
[Brain refires, neurons switch]
If I could just rewrite
my blog summary…
my blog summary…
No really!
Bear with me
Bear with me
If I could create that brief synopsis
containing the perfect words
describing what I am all about
(which I’ve been wordsmithing for months now)
Block letters
Clear and concise
Yes, that’s it!
That’s me!
All the bits of my life
would come together
would come together
A blanket of peace
would settle upon
the hills and plains
of Maeryland
And all the me’s
would live in
harmony
the hills and plains
of Maeryland
And all the me’s
would live in
harmony
It wouldn’t have to be perfect
This summary
of my most ideal self
This summary
of my most ideal self
Just something to stop the twitch
in my left eye
in my left eye
Maybe the words are hiding
inside something already written
inside something already written
Shuffle, Shuffle, Click, Click
I know it’s here somewhere!
Maybe,
just go ahead,
write
in scatter mind
just go ahead,
write
in scatter mind
Let words
come out
in a
Rushhhh
come out
in a
Rushhhh
And then SIFT, SIFT, SIFT
Watch for the big chunks
to drop out
A cabin in the woods
I just need to get away!
Maybe a trip to the coffee shop
A simple, small change of scenery
Shake that old routine in a can
And roll it across the table!
And roll it across the table!
I just want
something,
something to feel right
something,
something to feel right
A path well taken
[Scene change]
I am paging
through books
near at hand
through books
near at hand
Books of poetry
Three, then four, then more
None speak to me
Is this how my day begins?
Without poetry?
Finally, I sit down
Books drop
like disappointment
to the floor
like disappointment
to the floor
None say what I need to hear
Which is why
I guess I write
I guess I write
And my fingers fly
like wings
like wings
A melody of words
Called Maery Mind
Called Maery Mind
In the minor key
of glee
Funny, I read “about me” before I read the post and thought it was so positive and fresh.
I actually haven’t put a new one on my blog yet. My life keeps changing so much. I feel like my intro should evolve also. Not completely, but a bit.
Yes I definitely identified with A LOT of that so take solice in knowing you are not alone …or perhaps solice is actually better alone? Life is such a lovely contridiction . Lol
It is uplifting to see comments and know others are or have been in the same feeling place.
I LOVE this post Maery!! And, in particular….
“…None say what I need to hear, Which is why I guess I write…” (I absolutely believe this may be at the core of why many of us write); to understand our own lives/world. And I think it flows over into fiction as well.
And…
“…And my fingers fly like wings A melody of words Called Maery Mind In the minor key of glee…”
I’m right there with you!!
More loving kindness Maery :smiles
Thank you so much Mary! I love your words of understanding recognition.
You may be feeling a little overwhelmed Maery…but your photos are wonderful. (especially of the Piliated…wow)
A cabin in the woods? That can be done Maery, might do the trick ; )
giggling at the way
we can think sometimes:)
peace. deep sweet peace
to us both,
to us all:)

Lynn – Thank you! I know I can hear that cabin calling to me.
Jennifer – Sound like a perfect wish…
