Thanks you,Ippopo. It's amazing how frequently I have to tell myself this. I know that all I need to do is to start the process, to sing or play those first few notes, and that something more will grow from that. Yet I don't do it because there's a fear inside me which prevents me from getting started. Without drugs or alcohol, I am in a very raw state; there is a gnawing feeling in my stomach which kills all connection with the peaceful, wise part of myself that needs to create. In my raw state, I am flooded with self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. It is with me 24 X 7.I know that, one day, music and I can continue our friendship in a healthier way. Meanwhile, I can only try to ride out the wave. :-)
