The title of this post is something I ask myself quite often these days. Truthfully, I’m somewhere in the messy middle right now, having created my most beautiful offerings from a place of being utterly wounded and unable to do anything but create as a way to douse healing ointments into my deep wounds. Creating something has been such a powerful way to heal and I notice that my inspiration shifts each time the wound recovers. But then something happens to open it again, and inspiration is back in its original glory. Emotionally, those episodes drain me. But creatively they fill me up in such a powerful way that I welcome those episodes to this bittersweet life…
Totally true. I think part of it also when you are broken, your options in life are much more limited. When you become more healed, your options in life are much greater so you may choose other things than just creating.
The title is really thought provoking, not just a quick fleeting thought but rather a deep pondering one that you aren't even sure you want to know the answer to...at least that's how I feel,
I went through something a few months back that cut me really deep, like it pierced through layers of epidermis and just barely missed my vital organs (I am so dramatic I know! 😂), but honestly though it wounded me and I have been bleeding ever since. I have also written some deep and emotionally raw stuff and in some ways I find myself wondering, what would happen if that wound heals, will I lose my muse? Keeping it open is destroying me though, I feel myself slipping sometimes, like I cannot hold onto my hand tightly enough to pull me over to the other side again. And now I feel like this is incomplete...
