Infinite Sea: Imagination, Isolation, and Writing
Holding my breath, I dive.
Hitting the water, I do not swim, but sink. Down, down into the chasm of thought. Reds and pinks, violets and golds form, giving birth to a realm within. Colors shifting, worlds are born, characters are torn, pulled apart by the treachery of their environments.
In this medium, the space outside stops. Time adjusts, shifting into another dimension altogether. This galaxy beyond the stars holds shape, a form within the mind of the writer. So dense, so real it is that one may well touch its hues, feel its flavors, taste its scents.
At times, the emotions of the characters may become so strong, so intense; that one is brought to tears. Thus, isolation is an outside view. It’s the assumption of the observer. She sees a chair, a desk, a human being… a lonely room. However, inside within the medium; lies an ocean, a universe, a spirit of life.
With one stroke of the pen, worlds begin.
