November is International Drum Month… listen to some drums and feel the energy pulse around you and into you and out of you…

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage.
~Georgia O’Keeffe

I’m stuck. I have no ideas…can’t write, can’t create, can’t even think straight. I hate this. I know it will pass, but when? I have so many projects to work on and my ideas are crashing before they even fully form in my mind. Very frustrating. I am not taking it out in the best ways either… Ugh. I hope that getting through this week and getting all of my stuff together and priming my wood (for one project) will get the juices flowing. But I guess I need to not hope, need to just let go of the expectations and see what comes out. I may need to force myself to write for a day or two so that I can at least get something out! Whew. Exhausting.
