The block in basketball and football. Very effective as long as you do not infringe. The blocking of a candidate for a position. No reason usually unless it is personal gain. But the block goes in.
The block I am concerned with here is the emotional block which prevents writing or drawing or walking or living for some people. The block that injures the individual to the extent where all pathways for self expression are extinct either temporarily or permanently. Lucky if a window appears again. And then self motivation is required to step into the window and bring the individual system back to life. Thus enabling the block to be controlled as what it is meant to be : a momentary time for reflection and growth. A time of recovery; a time of direction into something else. A time to let the process of living fester and grow within the individual. So blocks are something special. A curse to those who make their livings writing or painting or just living. But sometimes necessary in the process of personal development.
So the process of the continued building of the process which will positively build words that will build an image of something, anything; meaningful ?? Sometimes but not always. But the process has commenced again after THE BLOCK. Developing and arranging a vocabulary which will enable the process of writing to recommence. Putting the circumstances of the BLOCK behind the curtain of history and rearranging life to include the wonderful world of Writing for pleasure and purpose. The world of expressing an opinion and knowing it is not to be forgotten even if it is only you who reads and knows. It has been recorded.
So the block is put into place as a time when the experiences of life are condensed and compounded into concepts of understanding. Not a useless exercise.
So the BLOCK is gone; expression returns; something to say confirmed. Small beginnings; minute beginnings but enough to break the block of non production of the written word. Usually it means a development within the person ; a development which enables growth in personal self, not necessarily writing. But opens a pathway to enable the writing to recommence.

Useful time away from a loved past-time. Time will tell. But nice to be back using words as they are meant to be used by myself for myself.
