Forgive me Muse for I have sinned
Forgive me Muse for I have sinned. I haven’t committed a word to paper in a long time.
Please pardon my many moments of stillness as your spark shined bright and I wouldn’t make time to explore the possibilities.
Please pardon those moments I reached for a pen and decided to grab a cereal bar, or a candy instead, which was followed by a cup of coffee or tea, and ended up in a long phone call to a dear friend, thus all time for writing was consumed in an endless process of procrastination.
Please pardon the missed deadlines. I should have stayed home to finish a blog post, but there was a last minute dinner invitation, a party, some marvelous excuse to step out for a while, followed by one to stay longer.
Please pardon the evenings I turned on the TV. I know, I know I should have worked on that paragraph I thought about all day at work, but Game of Thrones, Outlander, House of Cards, Grimm, Downton Abbey plus all those fun British mysteries were on, and it was the last show of the season, or the first, or the steamiest, or the darkest, or simply MURDER.
Please pardon the negative thoughts that have led to dives into moments of self-pity. Sometimes certainty slips my mind just for a long enough moment to tempt my resolve.
Dear Muse, thank you for not giving up on me. And please keep your kind breeze blowing as I try to find my ground.
