“Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don’t care who’s listening.” – Allen Ginsberg
You might not know it to look at me, but I have a real problem with visibility. I’m okay at work – I’ve always been good with a script – but when it comes to the spiritual side of me, I prefer to hide.
Ask me what I do beyond the day job and historically I have stammered something about writing.
In the past, whenever the blog stats started to go up, my posting stopped.
It was never a conscious hiding, but hide I did. Like a small creature curled up in its hole, nose tucked under my tail for security.
Although it is a monstrous cliche, I think that there is a trace of the witch around all of this. Don’t show yourself to be anything but good and ordinary or you risk being cast out of the tribe – or worse. But there is also a soft part of me that feels that all of this is rather tender. I don’t want to have to explain or defend myself.
Who knows.
The only one who has suffered is me.
But soon I won’t be able to hide! I am coming out of the woo woo closet and self-publishing my book! It should be ready sometime in November.
For the next week, I will be in the wilds of the Somerset countryside retreating with Sas and Susannah, but after that, Project: Visibility will begin! If you are interested in knowing more about my book, please have a look and a listen to chapter one here. If you are interested in knowing when the book comes out – please sign up to my mailing list.
I’ll SEE you next week!
with love, Meghan xoox
