I am so overwhelmed I feel like shreaking
So many ideas, my brain must be leaking
Bead, paint or write to name just a few
Plus housework, laundry and errands to do.
People say I'm so lucky; my talents so mixed
On days like today, I feel like I'm hexed.
Thoughts race around til my head's filled with Smog
To hell with it all, I think I'll just blog.
okay, I know. bad Poetry. but the feeling is true. Some days I just feel so overwhelmed with all the stuff I want to do added to the stuff on my SHOULD list that my head just spins. In a obvious attempt to escape I take a nap or lose myself in the latest and greatest murder mystery.
Some of this surfaced recently when doing a Divining Rod exercise in the J Cameron book, "Finding Water." The exercise had us find an artist/writer and try to imagine what they would say to you. DaVinci came to mind immediately. ( I think I have always envied his talents and the many many things he accomplished and dreamed about in his lifetime.)
the words that came out went like this:
"There is never enough time to do it all. Keep writing down the ideas. Perhas these are not meant for YOU to complete, but to share and spark another, to add on or embellish THEIR ideas. Or for some inventor or budding artist to see their own life's work. the might be's, the could have been's, the why not's, the starting place to tomorrow and the day after ...these are not to be lost. If not the projects...list the ideas"
this was all well and good when I heard the soft male voice in my head. speaking with a slight Italian accent. and at the time I felt like I just heard something so profound, even though it IS stuff that I knew. but today, with my artist list and list of things to do, and with a deadline (my husband comes home from 5 days in Ohio) it doesn't seem enough. It seems Leonardo, I want to do it all and I want to do it now. My mind can't focus and my body doesn't know which way to run. Crossing things off only brings to mind ten more things to add.
So tell me....What did you do to know...what to do?
