Keep Moving

Moving, keep on moving,
Where I feel I’m home again,
And when it’s over,
I’ll see you again

– Supergrass, Moving

“A sense of purpose doesn’t come from thinking about it. It comes from taking action that moves you toward the future. The moment you do this, you activate a force more powerful than the desire to avoid pain. We call this the “Force of Forward Motion.””

– Phil Stutz and Barry Michels, The Tools

Some days when you feel flat or depressed, just moving the pen across the page is all you need.

It can be like dragging yourself along by your fingernails.

Keep in contact with the ground and keep yourself moving forward.

The pen moves you forward even if it is just scratch by bloody scratch.

In the movement, purpose re-emerges.

You find yourself again.

And keep on moving.
