Publisher Description
I HAVE BEEN TRYING to find time to write this article for weeks. I have had endless time on airplanes, but that has been filled with other work. I have started with three different topics to write about for this article, only to hit the delete button each time. In my search for inspiration, I have talked with others about things going on in their lives, their practices and clinics. I have also listened to many tell me their stories, looking for that gem to hold onto that would become this article. And yet, as l sit here in a hotel room typing, it's not there. Nothing is coming through as the right thing for me to focus on. How frustrating and difficult this has been. I look around the room and see no color on the walls, no pattern in the carpet. A small refrigerator that holds a few bottles of water and some fruit. A bedspread that is all white, and an empty dresser with a small TV on top of it. Every once in a while I hear someone walking on the floor above me or outside of my room; just moments ago, a wind gust and rain hitting the window. But, the truth is, it is all more of nothing leading me to an article.
