Letters

Dear Creativity,

Where did you go?  I really miss the relationship we were beginning to cultivate but I feel like you went on a vacation without me.  That's fine, you know but it would just be nice to let me know before you leave so I can harvest ideas for those times when you're away.  Hopefully you're someplace far away and exotic storing all sorts of images and topics to contemplate so I can fully benefit from your return.  

Sadly I can't help but feel like we're playing an overly drawn out game of hide and seek.  Every morning I wake up thinking your just around the corner or hiding behind a large tree and it's just a matter of seeking you out.  I swear, I've tried to find you.  I feel like I traversed all the places you might hide in my mind and yet still you've vanished.

I wouldn't complain normally because you presence was very much enjoyed when you were around.  I'll admit that maybe I didn't spend enough time with you at first as I was trying to move back and forth from creative pieces or journal entry types.  Some might say that if I just stop looking, you'll return.  But like in the initial throws of romantic love, the first break is always the hardest and I'm probably now coming on too strongly, aren't I?

It's a matter of personal space.  We haven't clearly delineated a schedule they way we should have and that's my fault.  However, if you come back I assure you that I will make a more concerted effort.  I can't make any promises because I'm flawed and you should know that now so as to not be surprised later.  Things have just gotten a bit boring around here and I'm in the mood to spice things up.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Denise
