Does it ever happen to you that you sit up too late at night and surf around,
searching for something you don´t know what. (killing precious time)
And if you pay attention to how you feel you realize you don´t feel your best, so to say...
This happened to me last night. This has happened to me MANY late evenings.

I finished reading a book the other night. Those evenings I read that book
(and didn´t turn on the computer) I was filled with interreting thoughts and joy. And life.


See here! I found this old blue "note-book" of mine wich I got YEARS ago from a friend.
A notebook I used during some years to write about things happening in my garden
(I had a garden in the 90´s). Then the book was abandoned for some years
with still many blank pages remaining to be written.
Now is the perfect moment
to keep writing in it -
writing about things that the book I just read in makes my mind talk about.
See how well the books sute eachther? Almoust the same format. A little gold in the covers.
They are like made for eachother was my thought!

I write in my old "note-book" about my desires. About things I am greatful for... Sorting things out. Eventually I believe I will find the place, the home, the house and the garden I long for.
And eventually I will close the blue notebook by writing new pages from my new garden!

sometimes searching on
the web only scatters
our attention towards
our own inner desires.
Thought attracts...

That sounds good. Sometimes yes!! :) But I don´t think as a rule. Not if I am "in the wrong state ob mind".

I know this so well. If it happens to me, I feel like I'm looking for something from outside that I can't find inside at this moment...it creates a state of emptiness.
But writing is also one of the best medecines I know against it.
So I love your post!!

yes, uschi said it perfectly. Sometimes we are bored, too. Writing is medicine. : )

This is a great post.

I guess i have been thinking about this in the back of my mind. i wanted to add--sometimes I feel wonderful, and after going out into web-space--it is like i pick up the emptiness, or a yearning that maybe is collecting from all the thoughts "posted" out in a place where nobody really lives!! What are we building there ??

Ah...I think we surf to fill an emptiness, or I do. Soemtimes it is like compulsive eating or such like! And sometimes like picking wild flowers.
And I have so many books of beginning s of journals, with blank pages waiting to be filled...
A very provoking post :-)

Yep, Alix. So it is!

We can eat nice and be content.
We can wach TV nicely and be content.
We can be blogging nicely and be content.

But we can also do these things in a not so nice way - compulsively - and be discontent and empty.

I can choose in what way I want it!
