How to do this?

A big question - how to do this?elsa - word, story, image idea music person
I know it can be done, but

I can do this,elsa - word, story, image idea music person
but it takes a lot of doing.

It's easiest in the morning. elsa - word, story, image idea music person
Everything seems possible then.

 

What do you see when
you see me, I wonder.elsa - word, story, image idea music person
I keep trying. I'm not sure
what will happen. But over
and over again, I keep
trying - because something
in me doesn't give up, not
forever anyway.

DESPAIR

I'm both ahead and not ahead.

Not ahead...

Will anyone read this? Am I writing this just with the illusion that it will reach others? Should I have gone to a conventional blog forum? But I heard that there it's no easier. Most people's words do not get heard.

I've tried to get the keywords right, on this blog and in so many places on this site. But somehow google, on this blog, does not like whatever I've done.

Sometimes I despair. Years go by. Years and decades.

****

There's also good news. A year ago, this site was getting less than 6,000 page views per month. Now - Nov 2008- it was just over 26,600 - a more than 5-fold increase. But it seems stuck. It's hardly moved the past several months, despite a lot of work on keywords and all those other things the search engines are supposed to like.

And I'm no closer to making any money from any of the creativity than a year ago. I read up on all kinds of make-money-on-the-web stuff. The biggest recommendations: create an info product that shows others how to make money on the web. That's not me.

Still, some days I feel despair.

****

I've been putting some of my father's poems on the web this past while. And I feel his despair. He remembers, in his case, an idealized home - but has no hope of coming to be at home again, or of returning home.

I am - and am not - like him. I keep trying, even on days like today. Today I'm taking action, but with no inner light.

****

It's always darkest before dawn, the words go though my mind. Well, in that case this is one of those dark northern nights, with months of darkness before dawn.

Anyway, despair - and at the same time, action and more action.

Sometimes it feels like the best thing is to give up - and yet I keep going

As always, welcome into my world.

Elsa

I Turn to Despair, Feel Almost All the Way Down
to the Depths of Despair

I turn to despair, fall into despair, endure the depths of despair,
enter the cave of despair -
but at the same time I don't give up.

I don't turn to despair like to an old friend.
Wrong expression. I am gripped by despair.
I feel the depths of despair.

It's like feeling hunger when one hasn't had food for too long.

I'm sure there's a lot i could be doing better.

But still, despair, the depths of despair. I turn to despair,
return to despair especially in the evening,
turn to despair not like a plant turns to light but
like a plant wilts from not enough light -
almost like a warm human turns to stone

I turn to stone. Stone cold. Stone cold and shivering.

In the cave of despair, I turn every which way and then know,
I will feel better in the morning.

I know tomorrow will likely be better -
but most of all, things will be better if I reach more of my goals
.
