just rambling

I'm interested in experiencing myself as completely as possible. All that I am, all that I can be, all that I am made up of. I'm interested in developing a systematic way of enhancing spontaneity while maintaining the equilibrium that makes life lovable, livable, breathable, and approachable. I'm interested in settling down in order to remain unsettled. To be at rest in order to continue to be restless. To routinize my life in order to eliminate the scripts and routines that make it unbearable.  I'm interested in freedom, liberation, and creativity. Art is love. Expression is love. Why? Because when we create, when we express ourselves through our art, whatever it may be, it is an act of love. Laced with intentionality and saturated with deliberation. Driven by meditation and enhanced with a deep-seeded need to experience the other in ourselves. When I feel love I need to create - a dance, a game, a painting, a poem, a song, a meal, something, something, something. To allow that which I am inspired by to permeate my being, to become a part of me, to motivate me, to teach me. This is the ultimate act of love.

Just rambling!? That is some viciously wordy rambling. It's sounds vaguely familiar to the Leila I know, but still, very untrue to your voice. The biggest thing I ever learned about writing was to stay true to my voice. I hear you speak of these things often, but never this way.

And stop putting stuff up then deleting it damnit!
