You know what? The hardest part of the
Bitsnbob’s Christmas Musical Advent Calendar thingy – apart from remembering if
it’s Christmas Musical or Musical Christmas – is day number six.
Why’s that?
Everything starts with a reckless abandon
and a flurry of choices that pretty much choose themselves. Then reality checks
in.
How?
Voices in the head.
Speaking?
Mocking.
With what mockest they?
“You can’t do it.”
Something we should have thought about
before we started.
Something we had – and with that initial flurry
of reckless abandon the first five posts were written and in the bag.
Excellent.
But then the mocking voices start up a
chant of “you can’t do it and NOW your committed” and we are danger of loosing
focus anyway as we’ve got to the point where “Christmassy” is a mute point. We
need something and we need something strong – something that will pull all the
disintegrating energy back into sharp yuletide focus.
Can’t we just abandon?
Loss of Christmas face thingy.
What does one do?
Panic!
Then what?
Panic a bit more!
I know you – you’ve done that bit… then
what?
Grope around in you-tube for a long time
hoping to turn something up.
Did you?
Grope? Or turn up?
Either.
I prayed.
Why?
I found some stuff – but nothing that said
‘me!me!me!’
This is terrible.
It’s the creative impasse.
How do we get out?
Shovels help – failing that yoga and a lot
of stretching.
How come?
I stretch to music.
And?
By chance – maybe a divine intervention –
this ditty came up on my playlist.
Cool.
I stretched away, I heard the word snow and
the rest is pretty much explained in everything we’ve just said.
So from now on it will be a piece of cake?
Ah……, now… number seven’s where it gets REALLY hard.
