From start to finish
April 1, 2009
It took me three years, from the initial idea that I wanted to write a book until the celebration book launch itself. Actually, at the inception, writing a book wasn’t what I had in mind – I wanted to bring something into my life that I knew was missing.
At that time, back in March 2005, there was an inconsolable void in my life. You might call it a sense of loss or lack of purpose, but the depth of it was truly immeasurable. So what I did was to redefine what my life could be about, bringing magicalness and beauty into it, so that I could be powerfully energised every day.
My writing connected me to an unnameable source of inspiration. I was an adventurer, a scientist, a visionary, a time traveller, a magician, and much more … and the purpose was to bring all of that into other people’s lives.
The result is IMAGICA – a book that encourages us to explore and understand the source of our power.
It was an achievement to complete the book, for I felt it could take forever, but the book had a purpose. And when I decided that I wanted to complete the book then the writing flowed effortlessly until I physically finished it.
Yet this article extends beyond books and the process of writing. I am writing this to underline a need … a need for us to be observant … to recognise the potential that exists for being creative and truly passionate about the quality and nature of life.
This isn’t about the writing of books – it’s about what goes into the writing. It’s about about the starting of something that has the potential to be fantastic and inspirational … a future in the making.
And the finish is not about reaching a designated moment of completion. It’s about letting energy take its course as it flows through our fingertips and into the visionary landscape that we are creating together.
