On Noodling
A couple of weeks ago I read a post by someone who talked about noodling around with music.
That term stuck in my mind.
Here's a description of noodling from the Cambridge dictionary on noodling.
noodle
to play a musical instrument in an informal manner without any planning or preparation.
I'm stealing it for playing with words, with ideas, with thoughts. I used the word musings before as a tag, but noodling fits so much better. It's more play than anything.
When I allow myself to noodle, I'm able to be more open, more myself.
When I allow myself to noodle, I just take a leap of faith and write what's on my mind. Isn't that just gorgeous?
