went to yellow springs yesterday and hiked and stuff. it was quite wonderful. got lost in the woods on the changing trails (as always) and found the edge of the fabled pine forest. we also found an enchanted looking tree. it was unlike all of the other trees, and was at the center of a ring of trees. upon finding our way out of the woods, we both felt our minds clearing. just like what connie said once about untagling wind chimes. i spotted a pretty large snake, as i seem to have an affinity for doing. walked the town in the sunset, had pizza and beer at the tavern, then went to peaches for an open mic. we haven't been to an open mic in a long time, particularly since the demise of vics. pretty sure it isn't quite the scene for us anymore, but there was a lot of good energy floating about the place, which was really good.
last night when we got back home i felt a lot of clarity, and i felt really inspired and motivated. i wanted to jump up today out of bed and get right to work on some art. when i got up today, i found myself getting overwhelmed with everything, everytime i tried to start on something. i have all the energy for it, but i seem to just keep jumping from thing to thing and spinning my wheels never really even getting a good start. this has been happening a lot lately. i think coming out of that intense quarter really has me overthinking everything that i approach to the point of paralysis. this makes it difficult to just begin doing anything, without much careful consideration... and probably an externally enforced deadline. i don't mind working like that from time to time, but i need to regain my spontaneity and just allow my self to be in the state of creation. the fact that i'm having trouble reaching this pure zen-like state makes the need for it to happen even greater. i must combat the spell that is upon me.
