Blankness |
There are times when I am stuck-solid.
The past few days have been like that.
The more I thought, the less I knew.
The more I pushed the less I moved.
A wise person told me that if you just stretch out on your bed and don't get up until you have made a decision about your problem, then you can move forward.
Even though I did not physically do the exercise, I mentally did. That is, I thought about my creative blankness from that point of view and it worked!
I made a decision that allowed me to move forward.
The goal is to always move the work forward, deciding how is the hard part.
