Nothing To Write On

Sometimes i don’t know what to write on. I just stare at the screen in front of me, with my arms on the table, thinking....and hoping....that something inspiring comes up. I always want to write something which i have never written on before or perhaps write in a new manner or style which i haven’t tried before. But nothing comes to mind.....Gah! What do i write on?

Do i write on God!...but then what do i know about the supreme being and unlike many others who say they know, i don’t know. So I can’t write about Him. Do i write on love, but i have already done that in so many manners. True they say that love is infinite in its ways. But then what can i possibly write that millions already around the world haven’t already written on...or felt. So again the question arises, what should i write on, as i sit here with my arms on the table. Do i write on life...about the tensions and the strife that we face...about death, about courage, about aspiring to be a somebody or someone else? Do i write about the stubborness of man to never give up, or do i write about the downfall when they do? Life is so big, so huge...never ending. Who amongst us can say that they know life? That they have seen it up close. That they have seen what it really is all about. I haven’t. Therefore i reject this topic temporarily, to write on it more when i am more able.

So what about Travel? Now that’s an easy topic to write upon. I can talk about my last vacation even though that was 3 years ago or maybe i can just write on the topic of vacationing. But then dullsville. Who wants to read yet another wannabe columnist writing about the sushi you can eat sitting on the docks of some Malayan River, and how delicious it can be.....when i’ve never personally eaten sushi in my life or have visited Malaysia.

So i will write on whatever is coming to my mind right now. The topic "Writing on not being able to write". It’s perhaps not a very interesting topic. Might even be a trite bit boring. But sometimes given that you just want to write something for the sake of something.....this is what i want to write today.

Perhaps next time when i eat the sushi, i can tell you about how i fell in love with it and the way i ate it while vacationing in my tropical paradise mixed with the local exotic life of the people made me think about the wonders of God!.

Hmm!! sometimes such topics can spark off an inspiration, don’t they. :)
