On my mind...
Constant Beta
There are moments in history when the pace of change is so fast and the shape of the future so fuzzy that we live in a constant state of beta. - Bruce Nussbaum in a speech at the Royal College of Art, London
There is no such thing is writer’s block. But there is laziness, and then there are excuses that have no real grounds. Often when there are too many boundaries drawn around a piece of creative work, it loses it’s appeal and instead of becoming something to look forward to, it becomes a cumbersome chore. That’s what my blog became for me for the last few weeks. When I couldn’t find something intelligent to report on, I despaired. But I suppose, this blog doesn’t have to be extraordinary. It could, well… just be me. An ordinary person with (if I may say so myself) an unusual perspective.
I welcome myself back.

Truly welcome back! I keep experiencing a similar writer’s block but then the good ol’ ‘quote and comment’ type of post always keeps the blog humming and primed for the rant/rave/opinions in the wings.
I am happy to see you back. I think we all go through this and are hard on ourselves when we care so much about what we are doing…keeps us on our toes and part of the process. Love your blog - enjoy!
