Well, after a long absence, I have decided to bring more balance to my life by restoring the creative activities which I have neglected for so long ie writing more (including this blog)...painting...sketching...photography...music. The combination of laziness, couch potato syndrome after a hard days work, struggling to assist my adult son to find direction in life, no exercise etc etc are starting to take its toll. At the age of 56 I am starting to wonder "whats it all about"? So many places to see, so much to still do with my life with my beautiful wife......???
We get sucked into the routine of creating security and stability - we buy a house, start a family, get a job to maintain a lifestyle, become slaves to so much that is unnecessary and start losing passion and hunger for the dreams that shone so bright but now just a distant memory of what could have been. Our passions and purpose become confused and diluted as we focus our energy into so much that is good and responsible in itself but have somehow over the years enslaved creativity and purpose......
To be continued.....
