Little gems.

I haven't written on here for so long. I haven't written at all for so long. It feels like, like my excitement for writing has gone. Maybe this is what they call "Writer's Block"? Or maybe it's just that I'm feeling uninspired at the moment? I've decided that tonight I'm going to re-evaluate what I think and believe and know, and remind myself of a few good things. Hence I have borrowed 'Blue Like Jazz' (Donald Miller) and 'The Ragamuffin Gospel' (Brennan Manning), two of my favourite books, to ignite some fresh stuff in my life. I feel a little bit like an arid desert at the moment; like something went wrong and I lost my way. I am trying to find it again, I really am. It's like I need to believe in humanity again, know that there is good in the world and that there is purpose and meaning. I get disappointed so easily these days. And that needs to change. Sometimes, a person communicates something and it sparks inside of me and I think, "Yeah, YEAH. THAT is what I've been waiting to hear someone say. That resonates in me." I must remember to hold onto those little gems.
