Becoming Visible

“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
