Tara,
Thanks for hosting me back in your blog.It is a honor for me to be able once again to participate in what is going on in the discussions. Since you asked me to explain more explicitly what it means to be able to become bigger than your project? So I am supposed to answer something that obvious to one of God's finest creations? This
is my answer: “You are always participating with a tiny little part of you that temporally quits its human form
to take to your spirit in the human world and even then you still remain your own self entirely.” It is strange but true,for truth is stranger than any fiction. Satisfied?

Thank you, Mike. It is so nice to see you around the blog once again.
I am intrigued by your comment that I have the ability to become
bigger than my project… can you explain further? I'd love to hear
your perspective.

Tara,
I can't but fully agree with what you are saying and reasoning. I notice that you are strongly building on your
amazing talent for writing which is a very sound policy indeed. I am enchanted by your relatively new to me
style of clarifying your ideas,goals, tasks and purposes. You are blessed with a rare talent to become bigger than your project and the ability to generate sparks that facilitate creativity. What more can such a charming young lady like you wish for? Just practice your art and keep on developing this “relationship to be nurtured and cultivated throughout our lives” – it will pay back,since this is the best investment I can think of.
Your' s forever: Mike.

I'm adding this to my own Aha! moments of the week about writing and why I write …. thank you for the added insight, Tara {I wrote about it here, just yesterday ….. http://theeverydaywitch.blogspot.com/2009/09/pl...

I've been falling into the same trap: pushing myself to be published and therefore declared “a Writer” ! I think it's also to do with how we seek outside ourselves for approval and validation too often.

For me, I've realized that I have to ask myself why am I writing? In order to nurture my art, I need to be writing because I need to be writing, not because I need to be published or need validation. We have to love what we're doing, the actual process of it, right? Being attached to the outcome can really intefere with that.

I love what you're doing here. Thank you.
