(quote from Daniel Ladinsky's book: Love Poems from God)
I'm stuck. And I really don't know why I'm stuck.
What I know is: I wrote my last #reverb10 post, making stuff, ignoring rules and kicking ass, on December 6th. The prompt was Make. And I got some sweet, rebel-loving kudos in comments and e-mails.
Then wonderful Dian Reid, of Authentic Realities sent me the button pictured above "to tide you over until you get that sign above the inside of your front door ..." (alluding to the sign I said I wanted hanging over my front door, with the words you see in the button).
I got very excited about putting the button up - wondered where best to put it (nav bar?, on the About page?, on the site and the blog?...).
Then I learned that the next day's prompt was Community - so I knew I'd be mentioning Dian and sharing the button in that post - and that I'd talk about some of the other amazing folks I met in Gwen Bell's blog challenge last year...
and I knew I'd want to mention folks I've had the pleasure of interviewing this year...
and I'd say a LOT about community and how people's words and stories have meant so much to me (oh, I had so much in my head that I wanted to share - so much community-love).
...and then - I did nothing. I didn't do any #reverb10 writing (except comments on other folks' posts).
And though I haven't given the Community subject the depth (and love) I wanted to - - at least I've used the word community a few times here (does that count? haha) - and I feel the teeniest bit less stuck.
Dian -- thank you so much for the button - for the thoughtfulness, zaniness, (and baseball love) that are YOU. Thanks for being part of my community!
