Keeping it Topical

I think I am on a mental-hiatus from my deeper self. Instead of meandering roads and tangents to places I can't restore, I have found some place to recover myself- in the pages and thoughts of others. Reading and thinking again, for sure, but writing- not yet. I can't bear to see the encoded mess of me undone in print, so I am hovering along the surface of what is- taking in the metaphors and thought-whims of others and basking in stories far from reach of my own. And, when I have fully recovered the desire to challenge myself, wit, vocabulary, I will. Articulate. For sure- just not today.
