The Blank Page


There's nothing quite so frightening as an empty page. It's blank,vacant expanse looming up before you begging to be filled. Yet, your mind feels only engulfed by the nothingness. Even your day dreams seem to have fled. What do you do? You scribble something in a vain attempt to push through the emptiness. To no avail, your efforts are quickly consumed and drown in the blank page.
Then hardly realizing what your doing you begin to write. The block in your mind seems to have weakened. Words squeeze through the chinks and soon a steady flow goes trickling across the page. A new world has begun to take shape and you soon become as engulfed by it as you were by the emptiness. This time though, the thrill and excitement of life surges through your veins and you beam with pleasure at the beauty you have created.
