Tabula rasa
The blank slate
The silence weighs heavy
And the open space is oppressive
A skeletal world of moonlight and rock.
Without thought or imagination
Nothing to dream, nothing to say
Only fear and exhaustion
Tabula rasa
Try and start over
[I am at a standstill with both my long fiction pieces and I am going to set them aside while I collect my thoughts.]
At least with a blank slate there is ample room for scribbling ideas; and, with a view such as your header image, the ideas can float freely!

Breaks are necessary some times. Take more photos in the meantime. Inspiration can show up in unexpected places. 😊
