You're already doing it, uberinquisitive; you're looking it square in the face and seeing it for what it is: a ghost! Your habitual way of being, and the past, have only the meaning and power you give them, they are not absolutes, and perhaps you're sensing now the exhorbitant SPACE you have created in your life by watching that meaning and power ebb away.
Now that you find yourself surrounded by all this space in which to create, it's no wonder you find yourself exhiliarated, frightened, energized, overwhelmed... all the things an artist might feel when confronting her big, blank canvas. You can have anything you want.... but that's a big question, isn't it... What do I want?
Would you like to do some work (questions and answers) with me regarding all of this? If so, let's start another thread or do some private communication, so we don't derail this thread any further. If you don't want to do that, I strongly recommend you use this new creative space and time to focus on and narrow down what would be present if you were living your ideal life. I have some book recommendations for you, if you like, ones that have helped me.
I'm so excited for you!
